HULL (England) — Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross bundled home from a late equaliser against 10-man Hull to claim a 1-1 draw in the Premier League today (Aug 24).
James Chester had been sent off after only 14 minutes but Hull appeared on course for an unlikely win after Nikica Jelavic’s instinctive finish put the Tigers ahead in the 42nd.
Even with a man disadvantage, Hull, which beat Queens Park Rangers in their league opener, were the better side, outpassing and outworking a Stoke team that lacked direction.
But Stoke grabbed their first point of the season when Phil Bardsley’s angled shot ricocheted off the inside of the post against goalkeeper Allan McGregor and was nudged over by Shawcross in the 84th.
