Tony Pulis is pleased with his players despite conceding late in their 1-1 draw against Dynamo Kyiv.

Stoke City manager Tony Pulis was left "pig sick" after his side conceded a late goal in their 1-1 Europa League draw with Dynamo Kyiv in the Ukraine.

Debutant Cameron Jerome had given the Potters the lead, but Ognjen Vukojevic scored in injury time to deny them the three points.

Despite the nature of the equaliser, Pulis was pleased with the overall performance of his players.

"We are obviously pig sick that we conceded such a late goal but that doesn't take any of the shine off what is an absolutely fantastic result," he said. "We were playing against one of the top sides in Europe and we were more than a match for them.

"We knew they were going to create chances and we knew that we would need a little bit of luck, but we deserved that point for the way we battled, 100%.

"If there is one slight criticism of our performance though, it is the fact that we need to be a little better in possession of the ball. We work so hard off the ball but there were times when we could have retained possession better."

Stoke resume their Premier League campaign on Sunday at home to Sunderland.
