A tale of two halves as Stoke had the better of the first and PNE the second.

Neither side created a hugely clear cut chance, but Stoke were reduced to 10 just before the end.

Alan Browne was played through on goal by Sean Maguire and Harry Souttar made sure the North End captain didn’t get into the area, getting an early bath for his troubles.

Ryan Ledson checks back onto his left foot but his effort bends over the bar.

There will be four more minutes added on as North End look for a winner.

Batth is on for Tymon.

Souttar was smart enough to make the contact on the PNE skipper outside of the box.

Browne’s strike is against the wall, the ball is lofted forward shortly after and he volleys wide on his left foot.

Powell plays a nice cross in from the right and Fletcher nods the ball in but he had strayed offside.

The Potters swing another ball in and Souttar heads down at the far post but misses the target.
