    Stoke 1-0 Newcastle

    All over! Stoke up to seventh, Newcastle stay rooted int he relegation zone. Steve McClaren throws away his chewing gum in disgust.

    Almost 2-0! Marko Arnautovic smashes one against the Newcastle crossbar as Stoke try to kill off the visitors.

    What. A. Save!! Newcastle think they've scored, substitute Seydou Doumbia thinks he's bagged his first goal in English football. Jack Butland has other ideas. The Stoke keeper acrobatically flings himself to his left to somehow push the ball clear.

    Four minutes for Newcastle to grab a leveller and move out of the relegation zone...

    Stoke 1-0 Newcastle

    Stoke skipper for the night Glenn Whelan rarely scores. And he doesn't here. But it is about as close as he's got in a while. The Irishman shoots from the edge of the box, but it is always rising.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 84 mins

    Stoke 1-0 Newcastle

    Double change for Newcastle - they've no alternative. Ivory Coast forward Seydou Doumbia and Spanish attacker Ayoze Perez are summoned. Seven minutes (plus stoppages) for Newcastle to score only their eighth away goal of the season...

    Stoke are moving up to seventh as it stands. But it is not good news for Newcastle. They will remain in the bottom three and, with Swansea winning at Arsenal, it means the bottom four will be six points adrift of the fifth-bottom Swans.

    Stoke find a breakthrough! And to be honest it is very soft from a Newcastle point of view. Xherdan Shaqiri shoots from 25 yards out and the ball flies past an unmoved Rob Elliot. Don't even think it took a deflection. Strange.

    Stoke 0-0 Newcastle

    This match is gong to struggle to get 30 seconds of Match of the Day airtime. I suspect Newcastle won't care as long as they get at least a point. The Magpies are flying - no, more like hopping - out of the bottom three as it stands.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 73 mins

    Stoke 0-0 Newcastle

    Now it's time for Newcastle to roll those tactical dice. Off goes Yoan Gouffran, who was struggling with a knock. On comes another almost-forgotten Frenchman in Emmanuel Riviere...

    Newcastle top scorer Georginio Wijnaldum launches that counter attack, but he is soon hustled out by a backtracking Stoke defender who has charged back 60 yards. Who could that be? It's Marko Arnautovic. Top stuff.

    That set-piece goes nowhere near Crouch's cranium, instead straight to the gloves of Newcastle keeper Rob Elliot. He miscues his attempted punch, but his defence come to the rescue and Newcastle go on the counter...

    Stoke 0-0 Newcastle

    Stoke have a corner - and they want to make a change before it. Oh, no wonder...they're bringing the skyscraper figure of Peter Crouch on.

    Jon Walters is the man making way and, actually, it is going to be a double change. Ibrahim Afellay is also trotting off, on comes Mame Biram Diouf.

    Terrible. Stoke right-back Geoff Cameron lurks into a bit of space in the right channel, but then passes weakly into Rob Elliot's hands. Neither a cross or a shot. Groans from the home fans.

    What are you doing?! Stoke's new £18m midfielder Giannelli Imbula faffs about on the edge of his own box, almost having his pocket picked by a cluster of black-and-white shirts. 

    Stoke survive...just. But Imbula doesn't survive a rollicking - he gets an earful from Philipp Wollscheid. He won't do that again...
