This backfired badly as Oussama Assaidi ran him ragged until he was eventually subbed Statistics Stoke City Fulham Possession 63% 37% Shots on target 8 2 Shots off target 9 3 Shots blocked 6 5 Corner kicks 3 5 Fouls conceded 9 13 Offsides 2 0 Yellow cards 0 2 Red cards 0 0 Total passes 599 336 Passing success 87% 77% Tackles 15 17 Tackles success 93% 82% Total crosses 23 19 Successful crosses 17% 16% Interceptions 9 20 Clearances 22 17 Images 1-0: Peter Odemwingie put Stoke ahead shortly before the interval from close range; Dan Burn blocked an initial attempt from Ireland only for Odemwingie to tap in a yard out as a helpless Burn fell to the floor 2-0: After a Stoke breakaway, Marko Arnautović was found completely unmarked in the box after Odemwingie had found him in space, and he finished well past Stockdale 3-0: It was all too easy for Stoke as they scored a third from virtually no Fulham pressure whatsoever; Assaidi this time was completely unmarked following a breakaway to finish from a few yards out 3-1: Kieran Richardson grabbed a consolation with 10 minutes to spare. Ashkan Dejagah crossed from the right, Darren Bent failed to control the ball and Richardson volleyed it low into the corner 4-1: The misery and Fulham's Premier League fate was sealed two minutes later when Stephen Walters beat the offside trap and slotted past David Stockdale when one-on-one 2013-14 season Pre-season: Cartaginés (n) • Alajuelense (n) • Saprissa (n) • Werder Bremen (a) • Real Betis (h) • AEL Limassol (h) • Parma (h) Premier League: Sunderland (a) • Arsenal (h) • Newcastle (a) • West Brom (h) • Chelsea (a) • Cardiff (h) • Stoke (h) • Crystal Palace (a) • Southampton (a) • Man Utd (h) • Liverpool (a) • Swansea (h) • West Ham (a) • Tottenham (h) • Aston Villa (h) • Everton (a) • Man City (h) • Norwich (a) • Hull (a) • West Ham (h) • Sunderland (h) • Arsenal (a) • Swansea (a) • Southampton (h) • Man Utd (a) • Liverpool (h) • West Brom (a) • Chelsea (h) • Cardiff (a) • Newcastle (h) • Man City (a) • Everton (h) • Aston Villa (a) • Norwich (h) • Tottenham (a) • Hull (h) • Stoke (a) • Crystal Palace (h) FA Cup: 3rd round: Norwich (a) • Replay: Norwich (h) • 4th round: Sheff Utd (a) • Replay: Sheff Utd (h) League Cup: 2nd round: Burton (a) • 3rd round: Everton (h) • 4th round: Leicester (a)
