Joe Allen was given man of the match by Glen Hoddle, but it’s hard to look past Lee Grant in Stoke City’s goal. He made two world-class stops to deny IB.rahimovic, then Lingard, as well as a handful of others to keep his side in the game.
They proved to be crucial, as the game’s other keeper, David de Gea, gifted Stoke their equaliser. This is a massive result for Stoke, if not in points then in m0rale, and they will head into the international break with a smile on their faces: Sunderland, Hull City and Swansea await on the other side. Stoke might still be in the relegation zone, but on this showing, they will be absolutely fine.
United squandered a few chances, but Paul Pogba was especially guilty today, missing the target on three separate occasions when it was surely easier for the £93m man to score.
