Pulis to look at Huth clash

17 October 2009 18:15
Stoke boss Tony Pulis has vowed to deal with Robert Huth after he appeared to hit Matthew Upson during his side's 2-1 victory over West Ham. Huth appeared to catch Upson in the face as the pair lined up in the penalty area to contest a free-kick for West Ham. Upson fell to the floor after being caught by Huth's arm and needed several minutes' treatment before being able to resume action. Pulis has revealed he will punish summer signing Huth if he feels his conduct warrants it. "I will have a look at it and obviously if he has done it we will speak to him and deal with him in-house," said Pulis. "I thought the back four were very good today but if he has done that it is a disappointment." DelightedPulis was delighted with his side's 2-1 victory, thanks to James Beattie's double strike. "I think that is most probably West Ham's strongest team this season - apart from Scott Parker (who was suspended) - and they have some good players," added Pulis. "They finished ninth last season and they didn't do that by being mugs so we knew it was going to be a tough game. "They keep the ball very well and play in a way that they try to suck you out and then slide balls down the side. "But I don't honestly think (goalkeeper) Thomas Sorensen had too much to do. "The lads in front of him did fantastically, although we had to do a lot of chasing today."
