Tony Pulis: 'It's been a great week for Stoke City'

Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has said that it has been "a great week for the club" after their 1-0 win at Everton.

The Premier League victory followed his side's passage into the knockout stages of the Europa League after their 1-1 draw with Dynamo Kiev on Thursday.

"It has been a great week for the club," Pulis told BBC Sport. "To get six points and to qualify for the latter stages of the Europa League is first class.

"We have had a dip of form, which most clubs do, and we have shown a lot of character and spirit the last week and the result on Thursday against Kiev was a fantastic result for us."

The Potters have moved into eighth in the Premier League table with the win at Goodison Park.
