Begovic culpable - Pulis

12 February 2011 20:00
Stoke boss Pulis pointed the finger at goalkeeper Asmir Begovic for a mistake in the build-up to Birmingham striker Nikola Zigic's injury-time winner. The Serbian international headed home a cross from substitute Cameron Jerome in the closing stafges to condemn the Potters to a 1-0 defeat at St Andrew's. Pulis said: "I didn't think we deserved to lose the game. It's always a tough game coming here, playing Birmingham, but that's the way it goes at times. "You have to play the time out. There were three minutes added on and I think they scored in the 93rd minute. "Asmir really should have stopped it. It's just bobbled out of his hands. I don't think they've had a real shot or chance for 90 minutes. "It had 0-0 written all over it. We had some very good opportunities which we didn't take. I couldn't see there being a winner."
