    Time:90'
    • Hartlepool United
    • Stoke City
    • 90+3 And that's the whistle! Hartlepool stun Stoke! A huge scalp for the League One sideand a comfortable win!
    • 90+2 HARTLEPOOL SUB: Monkhouse on for Jones.
    • 90' Three minutes added time being played...
    • 88' Free-kick from Lawrence and Delap rises with a header but straight at the keeper.
    • 84' Lawrence to take a corner for Stoke but Liddle this time manages to get it away from Kitson.
    • 81' Free-kick to Stoke which Lawrence whips in but Nelson manages to clear at the death!
    • 77' Delap almost pulls one back immediately but the shot flies just wide.
    • 76' Foley gets on to a loose ball in midfield, he surges forward, Stoke back off AND HE UNLEASHES A SHOT FROM DISTANCE THAT GOES PAST SIMONSEN AND FOLEY MAKES IT TWO! Stoke's league freefall seems to have spilled over to the cup. Oh dear.
    • 72' Kitson turns on the edge of the box but Collins blocks.
    • 70' STOKE SUB: Wilkinson on for Davies.
    • 68' Davies slides head-first in to the Hartlepool bench. He eventually gets up, dazed but basically fine.
    • 62' Delap fouls Clark but Robson's free-kick is intercepted by Tonge.
    • 60' Stoke look really sluggish and uninspired today, perhaps a few too many mince pies over Christmas although they are missing many key players.
    • 57' Robson again threatends from wide but Jones is tackled just before his can pull the trigger.
    • 55' STOKE DOUBLE SUB: Kitson and Lawrence on for Olofinjana and Soares.
    • 54' Clark has a shot and Simonsen saves well. Hartlepool are bossing Stoke at the moment.
    • 53' Robson gets forward and sends in another dangerous ball but cleared by a nervous Stoke backline.
    • 49' Davies and Robson collide but for some reason the referee gives Hartepool a free-kick. It's swung in to the Stoke box by Robson AND NELSON PUTS IT PAST SORENSEN FOR 1-0! Hartlepool lead!
    • 46' Second half underway.
    • 45+2 Half-time is called, a drab goalless draw so far.
    • 44' Successive Delap throw-ins yield little. Stoke are labouring against a side two divisions below them who, perhaps, are more adept at dealing with high balls than your average Premier League side.
    • 43' Robson gets forward for the hosts but his cross is pounced upon by Simonsen.
    • 39' The ball drops to Soares who has a shot by Humphreys but it's blocked and Hartlepool clear behind for a corner.
    • 38' Another throw in for Delap but Nelson heads it clear.
    • 34' HARTLEPOOL SUB: Mackay cannot continue, Foley on his place.
    • 30' Mackay is down hurt after a challenge with Soares.
    • 27' Delap has a throw for Stoke on the left... he hurls it in and Shawcross arrives but the big defender's header is off target!
    • 23' Robson moves towards the Stoke box but his shot is well wide.
    • 17' HARTLEPOOL SUB: McCunnie comes on for Sweeney.
    • 13' Sweeney is down hurt, Pools down to 10 men for the minute as he goes off for treatment...
    • 11' Clark has a pop for the hosts but it goes wide.
    • 8' Liddle has Hartlepool's first shot on goal but it's blocked by Sonko.
    • 4' Long-range effort from Tonge but well wide.
    • 2' Whelan has a header from Sonko's throw but blocked by Lee-Barrett and wide for a corner.
    • 1' Match underway!
