Newcastle United 1-1 Stoke City – Premier League – 8th February 2015

A dull encounter for most of the 90 minutes , this clash at St. James’ Park ended level courtesy of Peter Crouch’s last-minute header.

John Carver’s side did have the better of the chances in this game, with Ayoze Perez amongst others, going close. However, it wasn’t until the last 15 minutes or so that the game really took off. The hosts took the lead when Jack Colback fired hom but that goal came after the midfielder was lucky to escape a second yellow card after a challenge on Victor Moses. However, the Potters battled back and eventually secured a share of the points when Crouch headed home at the death.

The Magpies go 11th while Mark Hughes’ charges are one place and two points ahead.
