Joe Allen cancelled out Anthony Martial’s superb curling strike as Stoke City earned a 1-1 draw at Manchester United.
After Glen Jonson’s strike was palmed away by David De Gea, Jonathan Walters chipped a cross onto the bar and into the path of Allen, who slammed it into the roof of the net with 83 minutes gone.
Before that, substitute Martial found the top right corner with a superb strike. In the closing stages, Paul Pogba rattled the crossbar with a close-range header from Marcus Rashford’s whipped cross as Man Utd pressed for a winner.
Man Utd could have been in front in the first half but they were denied by a brilliant display from Stoke goalkeeper Lee Grant, making his Old Trafford debut.
Grant produced a wonderful one-handed stop when Zlatan Ibrahimovic was clean through with two minutes gone, and he made another fine reflex save from Jesse Lingard’s close-range volley in the first half.
Joe Allen dejo sin el valor que tenia en un principio el golazo de Anthony Martial para adelantar al Manchester United y con su gol le dio un enlate al Stoke City en pleno Old Trafford.
Despues de que David DeGea tuviera una impresionante salvada a un disparo de Glen Jonson, fue Jonathan Walters quien la cruzo al area para que Allen lograra el golazo del empate para el Stoke City a los 83 minutos.
Antes de eso Martial, quien ingreso como sustituto habia adelatado a los de Jose Mourinho a los 69 minutos.
Con este nuevo empate en casa, Manchester United sale del grupo de los primeros5, cae al sexto lugar con 13 puntos, mientras Stoke City sigue en zona de descenso, apenas sumando su tercer punto de 21 disputados.
