City sink Clarets

31 July 2010 18:30
Michael Tonge hit the winner as Stoke secured a 2-1 friendly win over Burnley. Stoke midfielders Glenn Whelan and Rory Delap were both replaced before the half-hour mark to give Tony Pulis some selection concerns in a drab first half. New Clarets goalkeeper Lee Grant came on at half time but was soon picking the ball out of the net as Stoke took a 52nd-minute lead. Liam Lawrence cut in from the right to cross for Tuncay to head into the net. Burnley levelled through a Graham Alexander penalty after Robert Huth had fouled Chris Iwelumo but Tonge had the final word when he smashed home from 18 yards.
