West Brom can take nothing away from champions Chelsea - Pulis

West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis was full of praise for Chelsea after the clash between the two sides on Monday night.

The Baggies sprung a surprise result on the Blues, winning 3-0 at The Hawthorns, in what was Jose Mourinho's sides third defeat of their title-winning campaign.

Pulis admitted it was a grand performance from his Albion side to take maximum points from Chelsea but acknowledged just how good the west Londoners have been this season.

"I'm really pleased, it was a great result, a great performance. On the night we are very, very pleased. It's a great finish but I don't think anything should be taken away from the team we've played," he said.

"They have been by far the best team in England, they won it by a country mile and have been that better than everyone else.

"Although we won on the night, all the praise should go to Jose, his coaching staff and the players."
