Loan Round-Up: Martina The Hero For Stoke

Cuco Martina helped Stoke City continue their mini-revival as he was involved in the only goal of the game at Norwich City.

The Curacao international, alongside fellow Everton loanee Ashley Williams, played the full 90 minutes and saw his cross turned into his own net by Timm Klose at Carrow Road.

In truth, it was the Canaries who dominated proceedings, boasting 69 per cent possession and carving out 15 efforts to Stoke’s six.

But when Martina’s cross from the right was inadvertently converted by Swiss defender Klose, the Potters' unbeaten run had been stretched to three games and they were up to 14th in the Championship table.
