STOKE INTO THE FA CUP FINAL
“A day to remember for Stoke fans and one to forget for Bolton. A completely one-sided semi-final, and a scoreline to match. ”
BOLTON v STOKE
Bolton: Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Knight, Cahill, Robinson, Elmander, Muamba, Lee, Petrov, Klasnic, Kevin Davies. Subs: Bogdan, Taylor, Mark Davies, Moreno, Cohen, Alonso, Wheater.
Stoke: Sorensen, Wilkinson, Huth, Shawcross, Wilson, Pennant, Delap, Whelan, Etherington, Walters, Jones. Subs: Nash, Fuller, Pugh, Diao, Whitehead, Carew, Faye.
Referee: Howard Webb (S Yorkshire)
Jon Walters: “This is superb. We’ve been wanting to achieve something like this. People said Bolton would get to the final but they were wrong. It was a tough game we did well from the back to the front. The team is made up to have won 5-0.”
Andy Wilkinson: “Words can’t describe it. The fans have been unbelievable. We’ve had people writing us off ever since we’ve been in the Premier League – and this is emotional.”
Rory Delap: “I’m delighted for everyone. It’s brilliant for the fans who have come down. We’ve got a big game at the end of May now.”
GOAL Bolton 0-1 Stoke (Etherington)
Stoke goal: One half of Wembley has just gone absolutely bonkers – and it’s a super goal to get us up and running, Matthew Etherington making the most of some sloppy Bolton passing to stride forward and lash a beautiful finish into the corner from 22 yards. Doozy.
GOAL Bolton 0-2 Stoke (Huth)
Stoke goal: Dreamland. Gary Cahill’s attempted clearance from Andy Wilkinson’s cross is not great and it falls straight to Robert Huth who, without hesitation, thumps a dipping shot into the bottom corner from 20 yards out. Incredible scenes in the Potters end.
GOAL Bolton 0-3 Stoke (Jones)
Stoke goal: Unbelievable. Even in their wildest dreams Stoke fans would not have seen this. Jermaine Pennant is the creator this time as he robs Martin Petrov inside the Bolton half before feeding Kenwyne Jones inside the box, the big frontman clipping home one-on-one to make it 3-0 inside the half hour. Stunning.
GOAL Bolton 0-4 Stoke (Walters)
Stoke goal: Well it is 4-0 now and Stoke are beyond dreamland. Wherever that is. Jon Walters is allowed to stroll at the Bolton defence without a challenge, turn inside on his right foot 25 yards out, and then slam a cracking shot into the bottom corner from range. Brilliant finish, woeful defending, and Stoke are Final-bound.
GOAL Bolton 0-5 Stoke (Walters)
Stoke goal: It’s a rout. Officially. And Bolton are not even at sixes and sevens any more. Kenwyne Jones breaks down the right and his cross is deflected into the path of Jon Walters at the back post, the striker taking a touch before steering into the far corner to send the Stoke fans on to the brink of near implosion.
