Play by play

  1. <b>FT</b> As I said earlier, it will be interesting to see how Man City deal with Stoke's tricky wingers - Pennant and Etherington - in the FA Cup final, given that they play a very narrow game under Roberto Mancini.

  2. <b>FT</b> Stoke can look forward to a date with Man City at Wembley and who would bet against them on this form?

  3. <b>FT</b> ESPN's Tom Adams at Wembley Stadium: <i>Jubiliation for Stoke - every single member of the team a hero after a quite remarkable result. Bolton are left to rue a total horror show., They just didn't turn up at all on the day.</i>

  4. <b>FT</b> Bolton didn't show up today as Stoke totally dominated proceedings and could have won by more than 5-0.

  5. 92'

    That's it! The ref blows the final whistle and Stoke reach their first ever FA Cup final.

  6. 91'

    Jussi catches a header from Huth but there are not many Bolton fans left in the stadium to see it.

  7. 90'

    Fuller drives into the box from the left. He has three players waiting in the box but he goes for goal himself and hits the side netting.

  8. 89'

    It will be interesting to see how Man City deal with Stoke's tricky wingers in the FA Cup final, given that they play a very narrow game under Roberto Mancini.

  9. 88'

    Etherington is named man of the match but it could easily have gone to Pennant.

  10. 87'

    ESPN's Tom Adams at Wembley Stadium: <i>Stoke fans display a keen sense of irony when chanting "it's just like watching Brazil", but what a performance from the Potters today. A standing ovation for Etherington takes the roof off Wembley.</i>

  11. 87'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Etherington is taken off as he prepares to take the corner and on comes Danny Pugh.

  12. 86'

    Etherington will take the freekick. He chips a delivery to the back post and Knight heads it behind for a corner.

  13. 85'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Cahill gets booked for taking out Fuller, who had him beat on the left flank.

  14. 84'

    Taylor whips in a corner. Davies wins the header at the back post but the ref blows up for a foul.

  15. 83'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Stoke make another change. Kenwyne Jones limps off holding his hamstring and on comes Fuller.

  16. 82'

    If we have a quick collection from the Bolton fans we might be able to get enough to bribe the ref to end this early.

  17. 81'

    ESPN's Tom Adams at Wembley Stadium: <i>Incredible stuff. Bolton fans stream out as Stoke claim a fifth. Walters' goal is messier than the four that preceded it, but no one in Wembley cares. What a display.</i>

  18. 80'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> More sloppy defending from Bolton. Jones crossed from the left, Delap fell over the ball on the penalty spot and then Walters, at the far post, scuffed the ball over Jussi for Stoke's fifth goal.

  19. 79'

    Etherington fires in a low cross. Jones races to try and get on the end of it but can't.

  20. 78'

    ESPN's Tom Adams at Wembley Stadium: <i>Jermaine Pennant is taken off after a thoroughly good day's work. The former Arsenal man may finally get his time to shine in an FA Cup final.</i>

  21. 77'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Stoke make a change. Pennant goes off to a standing ovation and on comes Whitehead. Robinson will breathe a sigh of relief.

  22. 76'

    Shawcross falls over in defence but even then Bolton can't get a lucky break as the ball runs through to Sorensen.

  23. 75'

    ESPN's Tom Adams at Wembley Stadium: <i>A spiteful challenge from Robinson on Pennant, who has given him a torrid time today. Another sign that Bolton have been completely outplayed in every facet of the game.</i>

  24. 74'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Jones plays a pass behind Pennant, as he turns to get the ball Robinson hacks him down. Disgraceful!

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Bolton make their final change. Muamba is replaced by youngster Rodrigo.
