Xherdan Shaqiri delivers in style as Stoke edge Everton in thriller

Xherdan Shaqiri delivered one of the goals of the season and Romelu Lukaku continued his remarkable scoring record at Goodison Park but ultimately a controversial penalty in injury time was the deciding factor as Stoke finally triumphed in a seven-goal epic.

Shaqiri’s magnificently executed chip from a sublime pass from Bojan Krkic would have been a fitting winner as he put Stoke ahead for the second time just before the break.

But Lukaku is something of an unstoppable force on his home turf and two more goals from the striker — taking his tally for the season to 18 and eight in his last seven matches at Goodison Park — cancelled out Shaqiri’s double.
