Review:
Sigh. What a mess up for Stoke's goal. Grabban jumped at the near post to clear a corner but backed out of the header leaving the ball to bounce in off Brice Samba's knee. Not good. We equalised from another another own goal and that's the way it is right now. Our third consecutive draw and we're looking at the relegation zone.
