Tony Pulis Admits Huge Luck in Victory over Burnley

West Brom manager Tony Pulis claimed that his team often rode the luck in the match against Burnley.


The team managed a 1-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor, which has been a fortress for the club up until now. The result did not tell the whole story, as the home team were able to create numerous chances over the course of the game. Yet, the inability to finish off the chances coupled with West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster being on top form helped West Brom come away with three points. Tony Pulis has not tried to defend his three points, and said that there was a major element of luck in this victory.

ENGLAND HOPE FOR MORE UNDER-AGE SUCCESS

England are set to continue the work that has brought them recent successes in age grade tournaments. The nation was excited when the Under-20 side won the World Youth Championship in June.

The Under-17 side have been drawn into a group for the forthcoming FIFA U-17 World Cup in India in October. The England manger of that age grade Steve Cooper has reportedly reached the FA team and plans are underway to ensure the country continues to enjoy its new found momentum in age grade events.
