Pulis said: ``It was the best the players have produced since I came here but this game has gone now. It was only a start.

``We were terrific in the first half but Portsmouth have more quality than anyone else in this division and they were bound to come back at us.''

Redknapp said: ``It was a great point in the end. Stoke played as well as anyone has done against us in the first half.

``They were bright and lively, picked up all the second balls, and we were fortunate to be still in the game.''
