less Draw
Stoke City overcame the odds to secure an impressive scoreless draw against Premier League leaders Liverpool on Saturday. Manager Michael O'Neill set up his team in a compact 4-5-1 formation, designed to restrict the Reds' space and time on the ball. This was effective throughout, with Stoke's defenders remaining well-drilled and organised. The Potters also created a number of chances of their own, with Joe Allen and Sam Vokes both coming close in the first half. In the end, the game ended 0-0, with Stoke earning a credible point from the clash. It was a testament to the hard work and discipline of O'Neill's men, and a result which could prove to be an important one in their relegation battle.
