Stoke City's Shay Given: Concedes one in draw

Given made one save and conceded once while also being cautioned in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough.

Analysis:

Starting in place of the injured Jack Butland, the 40-year-old acquitted himself nicely in his fourth start in the Potters' last six league matches dating back to last season. While not the cleanest contact, he could have done little to stop Alvaro Negredo's early goal and made a fine save to stop Albert Adomah early on. While he was a bit fortunate to see Gaston Ramirez's effort clank off the woodwork, the Potters will take a point heading into next weekend's visit from (one of) his former clubs, Manchester City.
