Swansea 2 Stoke 0 27/10/20 7.45
–
Stoke were without a shot on target in a dismal game where they even lost their keeper at half-time. Unfortunately, replacement Gunn slipped up in the second half. Here’s how the game unfolded in real time:
–
Michael O’Neill rests his strikers (Fletcher & Tyrese) replacing them with Vokes (who is also a striker, supposedly). So, not expecting many shots on goal then.
–
1.45 Swansea casually hit the post AND somehow win a corner. Stoke are still on the M4.
–
15.45 Adam Davies saves the day diving fearlessly at Lowe’s feet. At least he’s got off the team bus. Davies’ timing for one-on-ones is extraordinary. But has he injured himself?
–
29.32 0-1 !! Stoke fail to clear after Davies’ punch is flicked over & in off the post by Fulton. Stoke have got to get out of the dressing room & get into the game.
–
41.02 Chester gives away a free kick inches outside the area. Thankfully Grimes blasts it at Fox, who certainly felt that. It’s reduced him to a cub!
–
45+1 Stoke somehow fail to concede on the stroke of half time as they fumble around during a Swansea corner.

45.00 Angus Gunn replaces Davies, who actually did hurt himself in that one-on-one.
–
58.12 McClean kicks his way into the penalty area, leaving half of the Swansea team strewn in his wake. Still no shot on goal for Stoke.
–
65.20 Tyrese on for Tymon, so is MON trying to recreate the lethal Tyrese-McClean combination on the left side?
–
69.18 Gunn slips over & handles a back pass. Here we go!
–
70.05 Somehow the free kick 7 yards out is deflected out by…Mikel? Crazy.
–
77.25 Stoke almost create a chance…but not quite. Need Fletcher on.
–
78.30 Angus Gunn makes a decent save! A minute later he makes another!
–
81.01 Fletcher on for…Fox!! What is this? 4-2-4??
–
84.01 Now Gunn is in goal, Swansea shooting from everywhere
–
86.05 0-2 ! Gunn messes up his punch, thwacking Palmer instead of the ball. Palmer heads it past him first. Awful keeping.
