Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Bet365 Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Stoke City FC and Derby County FC.
  • 5' Derby County FC is showing some good football. However, Derby County FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Danny Batth, as he is very good at scoring at Bet365 Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 21' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Tommy Smith.
  • 26' The travelling Derby County FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 31' 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 Teden Mengi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 36' Jacob Brown has been relatively quiet despite scoring 55 goals in his last 398 appearances.
  • 41' Over 41 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 46' The energy levels are beginning to show. Wayne Rooney might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 51' Northern Ireland international Jordan Thompson has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Stoke City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 61' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 63' The supporters are chanting for Max Bird. He replaces Louie Sibley on 63 minute.
  • 64' Derby County FC ring the changes. Colin Kazim-Richards has done his job and it is now time for Tom Lawrence to step up.
  • 69' The 32-year-old Nick Powell has been sensational this season — 3 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 74' Jacob Brown does the damage! The net is bulging and Stoke City FC surge ahead!
  • 79' A tactical swap from Stoke City FC — Sam Vokes on, Joe Allen off on 79 minutes.
  • 82' It is a substitution in Stoke City FC team. Nick Powell is replaced by Jack Clarke on 82 minute.
  • 87' Stoke City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 87.
  • 88' The referee shows Derby County FC player a Yellow card on 88.
