Stoke Reaction: Pulis hails Al-Habsi save

Last updated : 04 September 2012 By Paul Farrington

"I thought it was a soft penalty - Martin (Atkinson) is saying that he (Huth) has stuck his hand out, but he's actually tried to take his hand away from the ball as quick as he can.

"It was so close - you would have to be superman to move it away from that close.

"That was disappointing, but we bounced back, and then in the second half, the goal after a few minutes was a poor one to concede. But our attitude and character was fabulous.

"I thought we had the better clear-cut chances and the save from the goalkeeper was a fantastic save, unbelievable."
