Baines spot-on but Martinez rues dropped points

Stoke City 1 Everton 1

Martinez’s team, who had hit the woodwork twice through Kevin Mirallas in the first half, trailed by a goal from on-loan Liverpool winger Oussama Assaidi. And for all their second half pressure, they had struggled to test Stoke’s substitute goalkeeper Jack Butland, making his Premier League debut as a half-time replacement for Thomas Sorensen 17 months after winning his first England cap.

But after Erik Pieters made a string of blocks for the hosts, Stoke’s Jermaine Pennant was rightly penalised for a stupid lunge at Leon Osman in the area and Baines guided in the penalty.
