Benik Afobe on target in Stoke City’s stalemate with Brentford

Benik Afobe was on target in Stoke City’s 1-1 draw with Brentford at the bet356 Stadium in Saturday's English Championship encounter.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee continued from where he stopped in last week's season-opening loss to Leeds United.

The Potters took the lead in the 29th minute, thanks to the Congo DR international’s strike. Afobe tucked the ball home after Chris Mepham headed the ball past his goalkeeper Daniel Bentley.

But in the 66th minute, Ollie Watkins handed Dean Smith’s side a way back into the game firing the ball past Jack Butland, having found space on the edge of the area.
