Delap hails Stoke spirit

Stoke midfielder Rory Delap feels the spirit of the club shone through last night as manager Tony Pulis provided the inspiration for their come-from-behind defeat of Aston Villa.

Pulis arrived just after the Barclays Premier League fixture kicked off at the Britannia Stadium, having travelled back from south Wales after spending time with his family following the death of his mother earlier in the day.
