Stoke Towns midfield ran the show in the first half, who had an impressive 100% pass rate and helped to create 17 shots on goal in the first half ( to compare to Pallaces 5).
The attack on the other hand, only managed to convert 7 of those chances into on target shots, only one of which was able to beat tge Palace #1
Half time Stoke Town 1 - Crystal Palace 0
The second half continued much the same, with Stoke being the attacking side, creating 13 shots on goal, to palaces 4 with Dessalegne putting the ribbon on the result in the dying moments.
A bitter sweet victory, on one hand its 3 points and the midfield showed their class, on the other the Stoke Attack again showed themselves to be lacking, 2 goals in 30 shots on goal is simply not good enough.
final score
Stoke Town 2 - Crystal Palace 0
