Danny Drinkwater, Pedro, Willian and Davide Zappacosta amused themselves by adding their names to score sheet. Stoke fell behind two minutes later, Rüdiger jumping between three static opponents to nod a free-kick by Willian into the net from six yards. Butland’s resistance was honourable, in fairness, and the goalkeeper deserved praise for getting the better of the Chelsea striker in another one-on-one duel midway through the second half. Fast-forward another minute and Willian presented Pedro with an opportunity to beat the Stoke goalkeeper from close range but Pedro sidefooted over the bar. Zappacosta joined in the fun late on, cracking a low shot into the net from 20 yards.
