One madhouse was the result at Britannia Stadium; after its prodigal sons really played with heart and came away with an all-around victory that let them breath momentarily in the Premiership table.
Yes, those Potters that really shook one of their worst performances, ending their five losing skid with style and courage- by defeating one of the most prominent squads in EPL!
Those Red Devils that in seasons past were invincible and in this edition of Premiership are struggling to really play a one on one with any squad, regardless of its record and position in the table.
Something that the visiting skipper didn’t count on a man possessed with desires and determination of returning his squad to victory, being the hero of today’s match.
In today’s match it was versions of David versus Goliath in those Red Devils wanting the victory at any cost as well add points to their favor as well its Manager seeking a vote of confidence.
That didn’t happen today, as another skipper currently walking on a tight rope in the Potters Mark Hughes wanted to resuscitate his squad after many setbacks currently experienced in this campaign.
A squad that can really played on a one to one basis to anyone as earlier in the season defeated powerhouse Chelsea Blues in their always antagonistic Derbies- direction is somehow vague, still this chaps can rebound with the right formulas as they did today.
Call this luck or purely determination for a belligerent Stoke City squad, which they want to redeem themselves in the remainder of this campaign.
As for their foes in the visiting Manu really had in its initial eleven, its top guns coming out of the DL and were ready to inflict pain as well earned three points of gold- that went vice versa in this match were the locals as underdogs inflicted the defeat.
To the incredulous look of the visitors Skipper David Moyes that still claims of being the best that showed to play, still a win is a win for the Potters that really exorcise those demons of mediocrity and delivered to its faithful- an important victory that will raise their spirits.
After all there calm after the storm is past, as for Stoke City leaving their downfall behind is something to be proud, for now of course.
As they say in any sport, there’s no such thing as an easy foe to underestimate- because at the end the results speak for themselves, something that Manager Hughes will always cherished in his endeavor of top man, good show Potters!
