Wolves central defender Jody Craddock rescued a point with a second-half double in a 2-2 draw with Stoke at the Britannia Stadium.

Craddock salvaged a share of the spoils, both from crosses by substitute Nenad Milijas, after an own goal from George Elokobi and Matthew Etherington's stunning volley had put Stoke in command.

Stoke went ahead after 18 minutes. Thomas Sorensen started the move with a quick throw out to Etherington who outstripped Wolves right-back Ronald Zubar before crossing the ball into the box and Elokobi could only deflect the ball into his own net.

It came as no surprise when Etherington doubled Stoke's lead two minutes before the interval. Christophe Berra headed clear a Rory Delap throw but Etherington chested the ball down and volleyed home from the the edge of the Wolves box in superb style to give a truer picture of Stoke's dominance.

Milijas' inswinging free-kick was flicked on by Berra and at the far post Craddock was on hand to bundle the ball over the line.

Beattie was only just off target after attacking a near post cross from Shawcross. But after 64 minutes Craddock struck for the second time to bring Wolves level. Milijas was again the creator with a near post corner and no-one picked up Craddock whose flick header flew past Sorensen.
