The Story in 60 Seconds

BBC Radio Stoke commentator Mark Elliott argues that Stoke City's draw against Bristol City should be viewed as a point gained amid difficult conditions caused by Storm Boelo. Elliott notes that the weather severely disrupted play for both sides, but he believes Stoke showed positive intent as the visitors adjusted to a defensive back five.

The match saw Stoke lose Lamine Cisse to an early injury while MLS imports Luca Bombino and Jack McGlynn adapted to the challenging British weather.
