Stoke City 2-2 Wigan: Figueroa own half goal



espnstar.com
Stoke came from behind to earn a draw but had goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen to thank for saving a late Hugo Rodallega penalty.

Emmerson Boyce's early header was cancelled out by Tuncay Sanli's first goal for the Potters before the interval.

Maynor Figueroa scored one of the goals of the season with a 72nd-minute free-kick from inside his own half but Ryan Shawcross equalised with a header and then Sorensen saved from the spot

Stoke striker James Beattie, alleged to have had a dressing room bust-up with manager Tony Pulis after last weekend's defeat at Arsenal, was given seven minutes at the end but he could not grab any more headlines.




With seven minutes remaining Beattie was sent on for Fuller to a rapturous reception from the home crowd.

In the 89th minute Huth brought down Gomez, who was offside, but Rodallega fired his spot-kick straight at Sorensen, who has now conceded just one of the last six penalties he has faced in the Premier League.
