West Ham 1 Stoke City 1: Bojan Krkic scored his first away goal of the season to cancel out Michail Antonio’s opener

The Hammers were close to making it three consecutive wins at the London Stadium before Bojan scored an equaliser

BOJAN KRKIC scored an equaliser for Stoke at the London Stadium to cancel out Michail Antonio’s opening goal.

It was a very cagey first half with only two shots on target, one coming for either team, Dimitry Payet came closest with a free-kick but his effort flew just over the bar.

The second half continued in the same fashion as the first 45 minutes as both sides kept cancelling each other out.

Adrian had a hairy moment after he dropped the ball from a corner, but Cheikhou Kouyate cleared the ball which dropped to Phil Bardsley whose speculative effort from 40-yards went just over.

Stoke failed to clear their lines from a corner, giving Payet a second chance to deliver the ball and Antonio flicked a header at the near post past Lee Grant on the hour mark.

The Potters responded in the 75th minute through substitute Bojan, after Jonathan Walters beat Adrian to a bouncing ball in the penalty area and crossed it to the Spaniard who put the ball into an open goal.
