da betano casino: Stoke City manager Tony Pulis was relieved to see his side end a run of five straight defeats with a hard-fought 3-2 win at home to Birmingham City.
da realbet: Goals from Robert Huth and Ricardo Fuller put the hosts 2-0 up with 19 minutes to play at the Britannia Stadium, before the Blues scored twice in four minutes to level the scores, only for Dean Whitehead to bundle home a winner five minutes from time.
Pulis said afterwards:"When they got the second goal it was very deflating.
"But I thought in the first half it was as good as we have played, getting the ball wide nice and early and we caused them lots of problems.
"The big disappointment was that we weren't coming in at half-time more than one goal up.
"We started the second half well and then had a mad 15 minutes where, after Ricardo's fantastic goal, they pressed on and had nothing to lose.
"After the previous 70 minutes, we started to take a step back and fair play to Birmingham, they kept going and they nearly nicked something.
"But we've got a great group of players who never give up and they are resilient.
"What we needed was a win, which we have got and it has lifted us a little bit."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
