Tottenham 2-2 Stoke City – Potters Fight Back From Two Goals Down To Snatch A Point

Goals from Marko Arnautovic and Mame Diouf secured a sensational five minute comeback as Stoke fought back from two goals down against Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs will regret not putting the game out of Mark Hughes' side's reach as they squandered a hatful of clear-cut opportunities in what proved to be a very entertaining fixture. Mauricio Pochettino's side took the leader in the 19th minute after Eric Dier's header from a Christian Eriksen corner flew past Jack Butland and into the net. Spurs' lead was doubled when Nacer Chadli volleyed the ball home after a Ben Davies cross found him at the back post. Stoke's revival started after they were awarded a penalty in the 77th minute after Toby Alderweireld brought down Joselu. Arnautovic scored from the penalty spot and just five minutes later Diouf levelled after heading home from a Stephen Ireland cross. Overall, a draw was a fair result for both sides as the Potters showed their new-found confidence, coming back to earn them a spirited point but Tottenham will rue their missed opportunities.
