Stoke were left lamenting a Stephen Ireland miss and West Bromwich Albion a disputed decision after a goalless draw between the Premier League rivals at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.
.
West Brom's Youssouf Mulumbu was unfortunate not to be awarded a penalty after being clipped by Charlie Adam in the second half.
.
Ireland could have made the Baggies even angrier moments later but blazed over the top of the bar and West Brom then had the last opportunity, in a game of few chances, to win the match only for Stephane Sessegnon to shoot straight at Asmir Begovic.
.
A largely uninspiring first half saw Sessegnon work his way into the Stoke box before a good challenge by the industrious Steven Nzonzi ended his run.
.
Sessegon saw a snap-shot go just wide of the post and nearly scored when he evaded two tackles following good work by Victor Anichebe and Saido Berahino before Begovic blocked his shot.
Great game from both EPL teams. They did their best to win the game but all the same, gud result.
