Half-Time Report: Stoke City in control against Tottenham Hotspur

Stoke have raced into a 2-0 lead at half time against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane this afternoon.

The visitors took an early lead through Bojan when the Spaniard was allowed to run unchallenged from the half-way line before calmly slotting into the corner.

Harry Kane tried to respond for Spurs but his header from Kyle Naughton's cross was easy held by Asmir Begovic before Ryan Mason fizzed in a low effort wide of the goal.

Stoke were forced into two changes in the first period with Geoff Cameron and Marc Muniesa coming on in place of the injured Phil Bardsley and Marc Wilson respectively.

The changes didn't affect Mark Hughes's side's attacking intent too much, and they nearly doubled their advantage when Ryan Shawcross headed wide from a corner shortly before the half-hour mark.

Three minutes later, the Potters extended their lead when Walters fired past Hugo Lloris from close range after Mame Biram Diouf ran past Danny Rose to tee his teammate up.
