    FT: Stoke 1-2 Crystal Palace

    To avoid any doubt Stoke are relegated despite still being three points behind 17th-placed Swansea with a game left.

    That is because Swansea and Southampton play in midweek so one of those teams will definitely go beyond 33 points which is the maximum points total Stoke can achieve.

    Bottom six

    It's not about that one mistake by Ryan Shawcross, it's about the whole season. It's about what happened from pre-season to now. The process hasn't been right. The simple fact is, looking at the two teams today, you understand why Palace have stayed up and why Stoke have gone down. Stoke have no quality apart from Shaqiri. If you're relying on Peter Crouch at 37-years-old to keep you up, then you're in trouble.

    FT: Stoke 1-2 Crystal Palace

    The Stoke players are doing a lap of appreciation, applauding the fans. The ground is still around 65% full and they are getting plenty of applause back.

    They have given everything today and in the last few weeks but were just not good enough.

    Jack Butland is in tears on the pitch.

    The home fans come together for a chant of "City 'till I die".

    Stoke didn't have enough over 38 games and you end up where you deserve. The squad is not good enough which has been proven today. Palace came here and dominated from start to finish, despite conceding first.

    Stoke 1-2 Crystal Palace

    As ever it's a strange atmosphere inside the ground. Half of the fans are applauding their team's efforts and the other half are sitting with their heads in their hands.

    Stoke 1-2 Crystal Palace

    Stoke's 10-year stay in the Premier League is over.

    Moritz Bauer is flat on his back with his shirt over his head. Xherdan Shaqiri just stands on the halfway line motionless with his hands on his hips.

    Stoke 1-2 Crystal Palace

    That was the chance, the final chance for Stoke City.

    Xherdan Shaqiri crosses from the left and finds the head of Ryan Shawcross but the ball balloons over.

    About 40 seconds left. Stoke need to score or they are relegated.

    Ramadan Sobhi brings the ball forward for Stoke but is dispossessed. Two minutes for the hosts to find a goal.

    The Stoke fans are leaving the ground. There are red empty seats everywhere. Their side's 10-year stay in the Premier League is coming to an end.

    James: Stoke have been terribly mismanaged. They have had some of the most exciting prospects from Bayern, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and yet they still struggle

    Andy: Unfortunately I can't think of a better person for Stoke to bring on at this stage than Peter Crouch

    It is almost silent at the bet365 Stadium. The only fans singing are the Palace fans in the away end.

    FIVE minutes are added but the Stoke fans know the game is probably done. They don't even give any encouragement as the board goes up.

    So Stoke MUST find a goal in these closing minutes or they are down. Erik Pieters gets a booking for an awful forearm into the face of Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Could have/should have been worse.

    Palace have got stronger and stronger as the game has worn on. It was only a matter of time before they scored, but it's happened off a mistake by Ryan Shawcross. It's the goal we were waiting for, but unfortunately for Stoke, it's gone the wrong way.

    GOAL Stoke 1-2 Crystal Palacepublished at 86 mins

    Patrick van Aanholt

    That could be the goal that sends Stoke City down.

    Palace break again and Ryan Shawcross desperately sticks out a leg to try and intercept but only diverts the ball inot the path of Patrick van Aanholt. The Dutchman takes a touch and slots under Jack Butland.

    The fans look close to tears in the Potteries.

    Poor delivery from Xherdan Shaqiri. A complete waste.

    Badou Ndiaye is living dangerously. Stoke are desperate to win the ball back but he's way too eager. He fouls Loftus-Chek in the centre-circle, moments after getting booked.

    Paul Lambert is waving his arms on the touchline, encouraging his players to give more.

    Palace are just opening up Stoke now. The manager can only manoeuvre with the squad he has got. Hodgson has brought a proven goalscorer on in Benteke but Stoke are readying an 18-year-old to try and save their club. But I do think there is another goal in this game.
