Stoke City 2-2 Man United: A Choupo-Moting brace denies Red Devils 4th win

It is Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting who grabs all the attention as Stoke side remains unbeaten against Manchester United at home since Mark Hughes took charge in
2013. Stoke City 2-2 Man United, a Choupo-Moting brace is enough to deny Red Devils the 4th win of new season, as Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku both on target.


1: Early chance for Stoke as it's flicked over the top for Choupo-Moting. He doesn't quite have the pace to get away from Bailly though.
3: CHANCE FOR UNITED! And now an opening at the other end.
Rashford seizes on a Stoke mistake in midfield and races clear before slipping it across to Lukaku, but Zouma makes a good tackle to deny the striker a shooting chance.
4: SHOT FROM JESE! Mark Hughes spoke about United's 'loose areas' before the game and Stoke have just got in behind again. Jese this time collecting the ball and dragging a shot across goal and wide.

17: There's not much happening for United in the final third at the moment, highlighted by a pass over the top from Herrera that doesn't go anywhere near another black shirt.
After a fast start, this game has certainly slowed down.
25: CHANCE! Super run from Rashford. He bursts across and through the defensive line and is played in by Bailly as he steps up into the Stoke half.
Rashford gets a shot off from the angle but Butland saves with his legs.

43: GOAL! STOKE 1-0 MANCHESTER UNITED (Choupo-Moting)
For all United's possession this half, it's Stoke's first real prolonged spell on the ball that ends with the opening goal.
They work it well in the final third before Fletcher switches it out to Diouf on the right of the box. Bailly and Jones have somewhat switched off and Diouf crosses for Choupo-Moting to sweep in from six yards.
45+1: GOAL! STOKE 1-1 MANCHESTER UNITED (Rashford)
A swift response from United. A corner is flicked on at the near post by Matic and Pogba's header hits Rashford and goes in.
A familiar face is watching from the stands! 

57: GOAL! STOKE 1-2 MANCHESTER UNITED (Lukaku)
United ahead against the run of play. Stoke are caught on the ball and Mkhitaryan slips a clever pass through the defence for Lukaku. His first shot is saved by Butland but the striker doesn't miss the rebound.
64: GOAL! STOKE 2-2 MANCHESTER UNITED (Choupo-Moting)
Just as United responded quickly to Stoke's opener, the hosts have hit back after falling behind. It's poor defending from Jones from a corner as he leaves Choupo-Moting all alone to head in from six yards out.

72: Here are the United changes and it's Rashford and Herrera who make way for Martial and Mata.
75: Second change for Stoke as Jese is replaced by Berahino.
81: CHANCE! What a an opportunity for Lukaku. It's a brilliant ball from Martial out on the right, bending it between two defenders for Lukaku, but the striker shoots over the bar from 10 yards out.
He didn't catch it cleanly - looked like it came off his ankle.
