In quite the entertaining, dramatic and unbelievable match, Stoke City have just beaten Sunderland at home by the score of 3-2. A Robert Huth double (Yes, ROBERT HUTH) led the home side against a good Sunderland who likely set the controls on cruise a bit too early. Before some final thoughts, here's how Huth and Stoke found their winner:
Stoke City Vs. Sunderland, Final: Robert Huth Scores Again In Stoppage Time, Gives Potters Deserved Win
The pressure Stoke put on Sunderland for the final 20 minutes was quite impressive. Sunderland seemed fine to sit back and allow Stoke to continuously send meaningful crosses and balls into the box. One such ball from Jermaine Pennant again resulted in a Huth score when the big central defender pushed forward and poked home from close range. The set piece which produced Stoke’s winner was quite similar to their second. Pennant swung a cross from the left side and Huth met the ball to score.
Stoke’s brilliant effort paid off in the form of three home points when they caught Sunderland sleeping from their dangerous set pieces. In all honesty, Sunderland deserved something out of the game. They passed well and took their chances but their inability to prevent Stoke from sending balls into their area was ultimately their downfall. The best side doesn’t always win, but the side who works the hardest always has a chance.
