Stoke City manager Mark Hughes describes the club's 50-point finish in the Premier League this season as being a "huge achievement".

Mark Hughes has described Stoke City's 50-point finish in the Premier League as being a "huge achievement".

The Potters reached the milestone courtesy of a 2-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on the final day of the campaign.

Hughes was appointed as manager of the club last summer following the dismissal of Tony Pulis, bringing with him a different style of play which he was keen to implement.

"We talked at length at the beginning of the season about what we wanted to achieve," the 50-year-old told BBC Sport. "Maybe some players thought we were being unrealistic because it was a big ask and at times at the start of the season it was a bit of a struggle.

"But in the second half of the season we've been fantastic in terms of understanding what was required. To get 50 points on the board in the hardest league in world football is a huge achievement for a club such as Stoke."

Stoke finished last season on 42 points.
