This Dwight Gayle goal vs Stoke (GIF VIDEO BELOW) was some strike from the West Brom forward, showing Bergkampesque skills with a great turn and superb finish in this Championship game. Gayle scored two goals against Stoke, but it was his first goal that took all the plaudits. Second one not too bad either!

Juninho Bacuna own goal vs Stoke 2018 Cup for Huddersfield- Long Distance OG on Debut!
This Juninho Bacuna own goal vs Stoke was a rather funny goal from the Potters’ Cup tie against Huddersfield on 28 August, 2018. Deep into second half stoppage time, Bacuna somehow put the ball back into his own net from near the half way line! It was Stoke’s second goal of the game- they won 2-0. The game also saw Saido Berahino score for Stoke for the first time in 2 and a half years
Karren Brady Give It a Year Tweet- Just before West Ham Stoke Game 2018
Perhaps a slightly ill timed tweet this one from West Ham vice chairman Karren Brady, who reminded her followers about her new show “Give It a Year” on ITV. The unfortunate problem- the show was at the same time as the West Ham-Stoke fixture, effectively a six pointer game for the Hammers, and it didn’t go down well with many West Ham fans, who are already disillusioned with the board and the way their club is being run.
One could obviously argue that Brady’s followers could include people other than West Ham fans, but at such a key time of the season, this PR faux pas will not endear her any more to the club’s supporters.
