Howard Kendall: Yakubu was back to his best in Everton FC's win over Stoke
IT WAS extremely important that Everton took three points from their Goodison clash with Stoke, and even if it wasn't pretty, the result was what mattered.[LNB]Afterwards there were the usual complaints and grumbles about decisions made by referee Lee Probert.[LNB]Tony Pulis was affronted because Probert ruled that Tuncay's goal shouldn't count for a foul on Leighton Baines.[LNB]Whatever you think about that, Pulis should look to an incident at the other end of the pitch when Baines was denied a blatant penalty.[LNB] Ever the honest professional Baines stayed on his feet when he was unfairly challenged in the Stoke area, but it was a stone-wall penalty for me so Pulis should have just bit his lip.[LNB]I do understand his frustration, there is so much at stake in every Premier League game these days, and his side are in need of a victory.[LNB]But he should have tried to look at the game as a whole and realised what his team got away with, because there were other decisions that went in their favour throughout.
