Pulis over the moon as West Brom down Chelsea

West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis was full of praise for his side after they got the better of Chelsea on Monday night.

The Baggies defeated the Premier League champions 3-0 at The Hawthorns thanks to a brace from Saido Berahino and a goal from Chris Brunt.

The win extended Albion's unbeaten run to five matches and saw them secure 13th position ahead of the final fixture of the season at Arsenal on Sunday.

"It's an extra three points and we'll finish 13th, nobody can catch us now - I'm delighted with that," Pulis told Sky Sports 1.

"If you look at the games we were going to finish on, the last five games, they were so difficult, and we were so on edge after we got beaten at home by QPR and Leicester, but the lads have bounced back and the performances they've put in against the bigger clubs have been wonderful.

"We had the breaks again tonight, we played really well at times, defended well, kept a really good shape....the discipline was really good when we didn't have the ball and we made it difficult for Chelsea."
