Thanks for following our live text commentary on the first leg of the Europa League last-32 tie between Stoke City and Valencia at the Britannia Stadium.

FULL TIME. It finishes Stoke 0-1 Valencia.

Wilkinson is booked for a foul. Stoke really racking them up in these final stages.

The fourth official has indicated four additional minutes.

That yellow card for Tino Costa means he will miss the second leg at the Mestalla.

And Tino Costa is booked for his part too. Maybe we can play some football again now.

The cards are being shown for fun now. Whitehead is booked for taking the argument to Costa.

Walters has gone into the book for something he's said.

Tempers fraying here. Tino Costa gets away with a very nasty challenge on Whitehead. Can't believe the referee has not carded the Valencia midfielder there.

Etherington reacts with a shove on Miguel, and the Stoke man goes into the book.

And Miguel's first contribution is a crunching tackle on Etherington.

Valencia sub: Miguel on, Bruno off

Valencia clear another Delap throw-in and burst forward on the break, but Pennant gets back to make a superb - and vital - tackle on Soldado.

Valencia sub: Soldado on, Jonas off

The substitutes combine as Jerome lays the ball to his right, and Shotton fires in a shot from 20 yards. But a deflection takes the sting off it and Guaita can gather.

Valencia's Rami is booked for kicking the ball away. I'm sure the 55 travelling fans wouldn't have been pleased with that.

Feghouli's shot infact took a deflection off Robert Huth's heel before it struck the post. Stoke escape there.

Valencia hit the post! Substitute Shotton gives the ball away and Piatti burst forward on the break. The ball reaches Feghouli, who cuts in from the right and fires a shot against the inside of the post with his left foot.

Tony Pulis shakes things up for the final time tonight, making a double change.

Stoke sub: Shotton on, Wilson off.

Stoke sub: Jerome on, Crouch off.
