Stoke City - Newcastle United live updates

FULL TIME: Stoke City 1 Newcastle United 0

Arnautovic strikes the bar with the last kick of the match!

GREAT SAVE! A wonderful save from Butland to keep out Doumbia from Shelvey’s cross. That looked like 1-1!

Stoke sitting deep, inviting pressure. Dangerous trying to see out the clock…

We have four additional minutes here. Still time for Newcastle.

CHANCE! Shaqiri feeds Imbula and his shot is just wide of goal. Would have sealed it.

Newcastle force a late corner. Everyone up. In it comes but inevitable headed clear. Stoke’s defence impregnable.

Shot from Whelan on the edge of the box but he cuts across it and it’s well wide.

Taylor clears at the expense of another corer. In it comes again and Lascelles clears really well under pressure from Crouch.

Stoke force another corner. In it comes from Shaqiri but again easily cleared.

Butland drops the ball and is very nearly badly embarrassed by Wijnaldum but it’s Wollschield to the rescue to clear.

Newcastle double sub: Colback off for Doumbia, Mitrovic off for Perez.

The goalkeeping from Eliot is even more mystifying on the replay. It was a hard shot but didn’t swerve. If he stuck out an arm instead of watching the ball, he might have saved it…

Shaquiri has been the most dangerous player on the pitch and the most likely source of a goal. Now Newcastle must do something.

GOAL STOKE! And I have successfully jinxed it. Shaqiri gets a yard of space on the edge of the box and drills his left foot shot past Elliot. Wierdly, it was close to the keeper but he didn’t move!

TEN MINUTES REMAINING: Very hard to see either side getting anything from this. Looked like a draw from the opening moments.

Newcastle have enjoyed a decent five minutes but lose possession far too easily when they get anywhere near the Stoke penalty area.

SHOTS ON TARGET: Stoke 1-2 Newcastle

This match has hit a period of stagnation with both sides seemingly happy with a point. Absolutely no creativity happening from anywhere.
