Twitter explodes as Joe Allen scores late equaliser against Manchester United

Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw against Stoke City at Old Trafford with Joe Allen scoring in the 82^nd minute to cancel out Martial’s stunning opener. The Red Devils deserved a win from the game, but a number of fine saves from third choice Stoke City goalkeeper Lee Grant thwarted Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and co.

Joe Allen put in a virtuoso performance at midfield for Stoke and Twitter users went crazy praising Joe Allen and trolling Paul Pogba. Here are the best tweets and GIFS from today’s match.

Btw,Wayne Rooney came on and had a scruffy hand in the goal again:

Another world class assist from Wayne Rooney.1st that wonderful assist against Zorya and now this...

Moe Joe Allen and Pogba in pocket tweets :P

For a little lad Joe Allen must have massive pockets, because he’s managed to fit Paul Pogba into one of them.
