Stoke vs Burnley 15th August 2009 Match Report

Stoke 2: Burnley 0

Premiership new boys Wolves and Burnley both experienced a baptism of fire and went down 2:0 today. Stoke City scored from 2 set pieces, with Ryan Shawcross nodding in Liam Lawrence's free-kick and the unfortunate Stephen Jordan glancing a trademark Rory Delap throw-in into his own net to put Stoke 2-0 up. Burnley fans can however take some comfort that their team, who were playing their first top flight footie for 33 years, significantly improved after half time and Wade Elliott came close to scoring.
