Stoke boss Pulis clearly had some harsh words for his team during the break as they came out of the traps flying. Firstly a long pass landed at the feet of Kenwyne Jones, but before the striker could get his shot off the ball was cleared, but only to Pugh, who from the left hand side of the box blasted the ball over the bar.

Then minutes later Stoke were handed another golden opportunity to get level as Walters raced towards the box, getting on the wrong side of Barnett and with the striker approaching the box the defender caught him and referee Swarbrick decided to award a penalty and sent off Barnett.

Walters then got up and stepped up to take the spot kick, but he couldn’t find a way past Ruddy, who went down to his left and saved the ball, which was then eventually cleared by the Norwich defence.

Then deep into injury time Stoke got the goal they were looking for as the ball was floated into the box allowing Jones to out jump the home defence and put the ball into the corner of the net to claim a point from their visit to Carrow Road.
