Potters snatch victory as Toffees fume at ref Mason

STOKE gained some welcome relief from their Europa League hangovers with a hard-fought win over Everton at Goodison Park.

Tony Pulis’s side recorded victory after a European outing for only the second time this season. Defender Robert Huth’s first goal of the campaign proved enough as Everton missed the chance to pick up a third successive Barclays Premier League win for the first time in 22 months.

They were not without chances, however, and had two very strong penalty appeals waved away.
