Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has attributed his side's 0-0 draw with Tottenham Hotspur to their workrate.
Spurs enjoyed the lion's share of possession throughout the match, but the Potters frustrated Andre Villas-Boas's men to record a 10th draw of the season.
Pulis reserved special praise for his side's first-half performance against a team that he admits are far superior to his own.
"Tottenham are a very good side with outstanding individuals who can win a game in a second," said Pulis.
"I thought we played really well in the first half and we had our chances. We're pleased that we limited them, with most of their chances coming from outside the box.
"Tottenham are on a different level to us really when you look at what they've got, but if you work hard you've always got a chance."
The draw leaves Stoke eighth in the Premier League table, while Spurs drop down to fifth.
