Bojan scores to hand Stoke City a 1-0 half-time lead over Southampton at St Mary's.

Bojan's strike has given Stoke City a 1-0 half-time lead over Southampton in the Premier League clash at St Mary's.

The match started in open fashion and both sides had an early chance, first when Dusan Tadic's effort fell wide of the post with Jack Butland beaten, before Marko Arnautovic's shot was blocked and Bojan fired a weak effort straight at Maarten Stekelenburg.

It took just 10 minutes for the deadlock to be broken, and it was the visitors who found the opener through former Barcelona forward Bojan when he finished clinically at the near post after Erik Pieters's deflected cross had found its way through.

The goal did not do anything to alter the open flow of the match, and after both sides had threatened to break downfield quickly only a smart instinctive save from Stekelenburg to turn Xherdan Shaqiri's effort round the post prevented the hosts falling further behind.

Jose Fonte should have done better for Southampton when he could only head over from six yards after he was found by Steven Davis's free kick, and Jonathan Walters shot wide from Bojan's cut-back as both teams continued to create chances as an end-to-end first half began to draw to a close.

Tadic could not beat Butland from a tight angle after breaking down the pitch following a Stoke corner as the Potters protected their slim advantage until the whistle.
