Stoke City 1-1 Nottingham Forest: Visitors hit back to level in Potteries fog

Stoke City and Nottingham Forest both drew for the second game running on a night of two freak goals in the Potteries fog.

Conditions were cold but clear at the Bet 365 Stadium when Stoke took the lead with a comical opening goal after Jordan Thompson's inswinging left-foot corner from the right was somehow left on the line by Lewis Grabban.

The Forest striker, covering the near post, got his bearings all wrong as he dipped his head thinking that keeper Brice Samba would claim it, only to look horrified when the ball ended up in the back of the net.
