Stoke 1-1 Swansea
Stoke now have a free-kick in a good area and Xherdan Shaqiri will whip it in. He clubs it out of play though in a most disappointing development.
Summary
Bony with first PL goals since Boxing Day
Charlie Adam & Arnautovic hit woodwork

BBC Sport at the Bet365 StadiumHas Wayne Routledge ever scored with a header before? The diminutive winger is not exactly Alan Shearer in the air, so perhaps it was the element of surprise which caught out Stoke for Swansea's equaliser.
Stoke are meant to be one of the Premier League's most formidable teams in physical and heading terms, but it is one of the smallest players on the pitch who has exposed them.

Chris Waddle
Former England winger on 5 live SportI've got to say Stoke, with all the experience they have, let Fernando Llorente get the ball and control it from a throw-in for a second time. Then when the cross came in, Phil Bardsley was trying to wrestle Wayne Routledge when he should have just be trying to head the ball.

Stoke 1-1 Swansea
From the corner Erik Pieters lashes in a rising shot from a full 30 yards, it flies just wide. We can barely keep up with the action so far - not, it has to be said, necessarily what we were expecting...

I hope you got this on in time Darren...
Just put a fiver on Bony for the first goal. It has to be tonight, surely!
Darren in Durham.

Stoke 1-1 Swansea
Play moves back up the other end - entertaining stuff this - and it is almost a second for Wilfried Bony but his strike from 18 yards takes a deflection and goes narrowly wide for a Stoke corner.

BBC Sport at the Bet365 StadiumWilfried Bony had not scored in 23 games for club and country before tonight's game, so there was a certain sense of fate about the way he ended that drought against his former club.
Swansea manager Bob Bradley had said before the game: "As a manager, you always think about players coming back to their former club with a point to prove.
"We have to make sure it doesn't become a factor come game time."
Well, it did become a factor and the Bet365 Stadium is bouncing as a result.

GOAL - Stoke 1-1 Swanseapublished at 8 mins
Wayne Routledge
Well now, what a start to the game! Swansea had looked as ragged and disjointed as it is possible to be as a top-flight outfit but they conjure up a leveller from nowhere.
Fernando Llorente brings the ball down and finds Gylfi Sigurdsson, his cross is excellent but Phil Bardsley should really do more to prevent Wayne Routledge from heading home powerfully from close range.

Stoke 1-0 Swansea
As I was saying, just before that goal Stoke put together a great passing move, and they are at it again, Charlie Adam bookending the attack with a great ball out wide and then a powerful drive which is well blocked.
Mike van der Hoorn then makes a hash of a backpass and gifts Stoke another corner. Ryan Shawcross is given a free header which Lukasz Fabianski holds on to.
Swansea have started dreadfully.

Chris Waddle
Former England winger on 5 live SportNeil Taylor, what is he thinking? It's not a great corner but he heads the ball up in the air and Joe Allen is the first to react, his strike leading to Wilfried Bony tapping it in.

Wilfried Bony
It was always going to happen wasn't it? Assist for former Swans midfielder Joe Allen, goal for former Swans striker Wilfried Bony.
This is the sort of defending that sets you on a one-way route to relegation. The corner is headed directly up in the air by Neil Taylor, Allen is allowed to meet the ball under no pressure and while he rather slices his left-footed shot from the edge of the area it turns into a perfect pass for Bony to bury his first goal for Stoke from maybe five yards out.
A gift.

Stoke still get tarred with the old TP brush at times but they can't half play now, that is a great move, Charlie Adam ends up shooting wide via a deflection.

Stoke could go into the top half with a win tonight such is the congested nature of the Premier League. Swansea have had plenty of easy ball so far, Stoke sitting off a bit.

Former England winger on 5 live SportXherdan Shaqiri has got his act together, Marko Arnautovic is very talented and Joe Allen is in good form, Stoke just need to get Wilfried Bony firing.
Football is about confidence but Swansea are a team that gets to the final third but then it just fizzles out. Bob Bradley has got his work cut out. You need people who can put the ball back in the net.

If you saw the BBC drama 'Marvellous' you'll know exactly who this is about.
I'll try and dig out a link to it on the iplayer. It was fantastic.

No, we're all correctly dressed and suitably prepared now. The teams are out, Swansea in a nice sunburst blue effort, dark at the bottom, light at the top.

I'm fairly sure, maybe 75%, that one of the Swansea players is not wearing any shorts in the tunnel. That's one way to spice up a Monday night game.
