Mark Hughes has claimed that Stoke City are a strong unit and dedicated their 3-1 win over West Bromwich Albion to the club's owners and fans.
Joe Allen, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Ramadan Sobhi struck for the Potters, while Salomon Rondon's 51st minute goal proved little more than a consolation.
Saturday's victory at the bet365 Stadium was only their second league Premier League win in nine games but despite Stoke's current troubles, Hughes insists that the owners have been supportive.
"I have had fantastic support from the owners and all they have been doing is reassuring me and the players," the Welshman told reporters after the game.
"I thank them for that. I feel like we have rewarded them a little today. That support is vital.
"Within the club we are strong and that is how we always will be. The supporters got us over the line and today they were fantastic."
The result edges stoke up to 14th in the Premier League table, three points clear of the relegation zone.
