    Stoke 0-2 Bournemouth

    Great chance for Stoke!

    Glen Johnson is deep in Bournemouth territory, cuts inside on the edge of the box and sets up the unmarked Joe Allen but his shot is dragged wide.

    The Potters are building up a head of steam but they need to convert. Desperately.

    Stoke 0-2 Bournemouth

    Stoke have started pretty well.

    Jese's ball swings through the box, past a team-mate and out for a goal-kick, having just missed the far corner of the net.

    In terms of half-time chats, this was a biggie for Mark Hughes. Let's see what impact it has...

    What now for Stoke?

    Well, our cameras are focusing on Saido Berahino during his half-time warm-up. However, he hasn't scored since February 2016.

  7. HALF-TIMEpublished at 45+1 mins

    Stoke 0-2 Bournemouth

    All going well for the Cherries. Goals from Andrew Surman and Junior Stanislas leave them in a strong position at the break.

    Boos for Stoke. Big 45 needed from Mark Hughes' side.

    Threaten they do! Darren Fletcher's free-kick is met by the outstretched boot of Ryan Shawcross but sent spinning wide of the far post.

    Stoke 0-2 Bournemouth

    Lewis Cook escapes what would be the first booking of the game after he drags down a Stoke player as the home side look to break. No card but this is a chance for City to threaten...

    Great chance for Stoke! Pieters' cross is met by the head of Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting but his effort glances wide of goal.

    Stoke 0-2 Bournemouth

    Jack Butland alone stops it being 3-0 to Bournemouth. Jordon Ibe charges down the right and has Afobe for company, but instead opts to go alone. He cuts inside and fires a shot that looks to be heading for goal after a deflection but is clawed away by one hand by the Stoke keeper. Brilliant stuff. It has kept City clinging on to this game.

    Great save! Asmir Begovic denies Mame Biram Diouf with a tip over after the striker had bought himself a yard in the box for an angled shot.

    There is life in Stoke yet.

    Stoke 0-2 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth on the attack once more. They come down the left but when the ball is played into the middle for Afobe, his control lets him down.

    Stoke look in trouble every time the Cherries come forward.

    Poor. Lys Mousset has options but chooses the worst of them, sending a limp shot from range bobbling well wide.

    Stoke 0-2 Bournemouth

    Mark Hughes is not happy. Not just about the scoreline but also the way the Bournemouth players are dishing out heavy tackles. Not sure he's got a leg to stand on to be honest. Not because Eddie Howe has gone through the back of him but because it's a game of football, with contact and everything.

    Stoke 0-2 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth charge forward again and are a yard or two from a certain third. Jordon Ibe's cross from the left floats just in front of the onrushing Benik Afobe.

    Stoke 0-2 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth have had four touches in the Stoke box. Two of those were in the set up to the first goal, the third was Afobe's just before he was fouled for the spot-kick and the fourth is the penalty kick itself.

    Efficient.

    Take a bow Charlie Daniels!

    They've struck twice at one end but this challenge from the full-back at the other is just as impressive. Glen Johnson is found in space at the back post but is denied by the sliding Daniels.

    How Stoke could have done with an early reply.

    Good to great for Stoke!

    Benik Afobe goes down under a clumsy lunge from Ryan Shawcross and the ref points to the spot.
