Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Bet365 Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Stoke City FC and West Bromwich Albion FC.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' It looks surprising West Bromwich Albion FC does not make any changes. Jake Livermore has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mason Holgate made 319 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 25' A goal from the England international Dwight Gayle! He fires home on 25 to make it 0-1!
- 30' 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.
- 35' 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.
- 40' Thomas Edwards has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 40.
- 45' West Bromwich Albion FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 45.
- 50' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 55' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 60' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 65' With 0 assists to his name this season, Kieran Gibbs is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Stoke City FC.
- 67' Bojan is ready to make an impact after coming on for James McClean at the 67 minute mark.
- 72' 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 Tom Ince suffering a number of foals already.
- 74' The West Bromwich Albion FC bench stirs into life. Jacob Murphy is withdrawn and Jefferson Montero gets his opportunity.
- 79' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Stoke City FC and West Bromwich Albion FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 81' The crowd applauds Ryan Woods as he leaves the pitch. Saido Berahino steps in for Stoke City FC.
- 86' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering West Bromwich Albion FC that had 377 games and scored 482 goals.
- 90' That is a Yellow card for West Bromwich Albion FC. Dwight Gayle will be fuming at that decision.
- 90' The crowd applauds Tom Ince as he leaves the pitch. Ryan Shawcross steps in for Stoke City FC.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Stoke City FC.
