GIBSON ATONES BUT PELACH IRKED

Alnwick's error gets punished

- Matt Wright

NARCIS Pelach remained angry with his Stoke team’s performance, despite them snatching a draw right at the death.

Ben Gibson spared the Potters’ blushes – and his own – by heading in an equaliser in the fifth minute of stoppage time to cancel out his earlier own goal and deny the Bluebirds their first away win since April. Anwar El Ghazi had earlier cancelled out Andy Moran’s 17th-minute opener for the home side.

Stoke’s display led to frustrations among home fans boiling over inside the bet365 Stadium and Pelach understood their show of anger.

He said: “Of course I understand, and they are right to do it. I’m on the same page because we need to go on the pitch and compete better.

“There is a feeling of anger and disappointment – I’m really disappointed with the performance we put in and I feel like this is unacceptable.
