Stoke City’s hopes of a crucial win were dashed once again in heart-wrenching fashion, as a 90th-minute equaliser from Luton Town saw them settle for a 1-1 draw at the bet365 Stadium. In a game loaded with tension and high stakes, Lewis Baker’s deflected free-kick gave Stoke the lead late on, only for the familiar sting of stoppage-time heartbreak to strike. It’s the third time in just six matches that the Potters have let vital points slip away in the dying moments — a trend that now threatens to drag them deeper into the relegation mire with just five games remaining.

“Clean sheets are a point of pride, but they’re only possible because of the commitment from the lads in front of me,” said Anthony Patterson after securing his 50th shutout in Sunderland colours.
The 24-year-old stopper was instrumental in the 1-0 win over West Brom, delivering key saves to maintain the lead handed to the Black Cats by Trai Hume’s stunning free kick.
Now with 13 clean sheets this season, Patterson’s return to form could prove crucial as Sunderland gear up for a late push in the Championship promotion race.
