Stoke - Southampton Match Report

Crouch was on target as stoke picked up a point on the final day of the season which at St Mary's against Southampton.

Southampton went very close within the first minute when Adam Lallana saw his low shot parried by Asmir Begovic onto the post and Rickie Lambert followed up and slotted the ball into the back of the net; however the linesman correctly ruled it offside. Lambert then shot from about 20 yards out but it was to no avail

 

Crouch headed the potters ahead on 47 minutes against his former side after Geoff Cameron ran to the right hand side and crossed the ball into crouch as he got ahead of Jose Fonte to head the potters 1-0 up

 

The saints later equalised on 57 minutes when stoke poorly cleared Lallana's free kick and Begovic parried the shop straight to the feet of Lambert who slotted the saints level

 

Former England star Michael Owen came on Wyeth 16 minutes to go and made his final appearance as a professional footballer but unfortunately he couldn't add to his superb tally as a striker as the game ended at one a piece
