Heroics from visiting keeper Heurelho Gomes meant the striker became only the third player, after Juan Pablo Angel (2005) and Darren Bent (2010), to miss two penalties in a Premier League game.
"I was really confident Saido would score. He'll be stronger for it," said Pulis.
"He's a good player and it happens, it's a cruel game at times.
"It was certainly cruel for Saido and for us as a football team."
