Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Bet365 Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Stoke City FC and Blackburn Rovers FC.
  • 4' Scott Wharton adds to his 0 season tally! Blackburn Rovers FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 9' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Stoke City FC that had 380 games and scored 400 goals.
  • 10' Lewis Travis gets the nod from Blackburn Rovers FC. He replaces Scott Wharton and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 15' Stoke City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' Callum Brittain has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Stoke City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Alex Neil might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 40' Blackburn Rovers FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 45' Tyrhys Dolan has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 45.
  • 50' It looks like no one’s ball. Stoke City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 55' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 56' Stoke City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ryan Mmaee is hanging Dwight Gayle on the field on 56 minute.
  • 61' Stoke City FC is showing some good football. However, Stoke City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 66' Stoke City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 71' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jack Bonham suffering a number of foals already.
  • 74' Stoke City FC ring the changes. Ki-Jana Hoever has done his job and it is now time for Lynden Gooch to step up.
  • 79' Blackburn Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 79.
  • 80' The crowd applauds Daniel Johnson as he leaves the pitch. Wesley steps in for Stoke City FC.
  • 84' The Blackburn Rovers FC bench stirs into life. Tyrhys Dolan is withdrawn and Jake Garrett gets his opportunity.
  • 86' Magnificent from Andrew Moran! That is 8 goals in 336 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 90' Jordan Thompson was booked on 90.
  • 90' Blackburn Rovers FC make a change. Andrew Moran trudges off to be replaced by Semir Telalovic on 90 minutes.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-3 draw is a fair result on the day.
