THE CROWD
Attendance: 25,458
MATCH RATING
Entertainment: 6
BEGOVIC: Dealt with everything thrown at him and it would have taken a wonderful save to prevent the only goal 8
SHOTTON: Defensively, one of his soundest performances in a Stoke shirt as he threatens to make right-back his position for a while 8
WILSON: A little bit ring rusty in truth, but we can forgive him for that after so long out 7
SHAWCROSS: Johnny on the spot on so many occasions to block or cut out balls into the area 7
HUTH: Forthright – a little too forthright in one instance – as he never gave anyone an easy ride 6
WALTERS: Just not his day, sadly, as his touch deserted him on more than one occasion, not least from 12 yards 6
NZONZI: Another mixed bag as his temperament was once again called into question 6
CAMERON: Largely a spoiling role in midfield then on the right-hand side before his early withdrawal 6
WHELAN: Passing boot not quite cocked in the right direction and plenty of chasing to do the rest of the time 6
ETHERINGTON: We'll never know what impact he may have had following that early injury 5
CROUCH: Workmanlike in the loose, but kicking himself for not taking that chance early second half 6
SUBSTITUTES
SHEA (for Etherington, 24): Not the easiest of introductions to English football, but stuck to the task and won the penalty 7
JEROME (for Cameron, 51): Quickly out of the starting blocks a few times, but no real sighter of goal 7
JONES (for Crouch, 70): Thrown on to mix it up a bit, but another unable to take aim where it mattered 6
Subs not used: Sorensen, Adam, Whitehead, Kightly.
FULHAM: Schwarzer, Reither, Riise, Senderos, Hangeland, Duff (Emanuelson, 86), Sidwell, Karagounis (Baird, 81), Dejagah, Ruiz, Berbatov (Petric, 90). Subs: Etheridge, Hughes, Rodallega, Kacaniklic.
