Jon Walters bags two to banish his won goal nightmares

THIS HAS ALL GONE POTTY ... Jon Walters celebrates his second

TONY PULIS hailed Jon Walters after he buried his own-goal nightmare.

The Stoke forward scored two OGs and missed a penalty in Saturday’s 4-0 home defeat by Chelsea.

But last night he put two in the right net to leave boss Pulis beaming: “It’s just great for him. It will wash away what happened against Chelsea.

“I wasn’t going to play him tonight.

“Last Friday I was planning to give him a rest but after what happened on Saturday I thought the best thing was to get him out there again.

“He is someone who gives everything. He’s a gifted individual in lots of respects. He has a big strong heart and real British bulldog spirit.”

Victory over Championship side Palace earned Stoke a fourth-round tie at home to Manchester City — a re-run of the 2011 final, which Roberto Mancini’s side won 1-0.

Mancini has taken City to the Britannia five times and is yet to win.

Pulis added: “We’ve only lost two games in 14 cup ties. It would be lovely to make it two in 15.”

Elsewhere, League One Brentford beat Southend to earn a plum home tie with neighbours Chelsea.

Bees assistant boss Alan Kernaghan said: “We are capable of giving them a game and giving ourselves a decent chance.”

QPR marched into the fourth round with a 1-0 win at West Brom — Jay Bothroyd scoring his first Rs goal for 14 months.

They now host League One outfit MK Dons.
