Man United ought to be happy with their 2-2 draw away to StokeAFPJose Mourinho’s title hunt is still on after getting a result at the bet365 StadiumRex Features
After all, no team has ever won the Premier League after losing at the bet365 Stadium – or Britannia Stadium as it was known.
In the Potters’ nine, full top-flight campaigns, they’ve become the ultimate curse… a true bogey team.
Of the champions in Stoke’s Prem seasons, six have won in the Midlands, while three have drawn. None have lost…
While only three teams have drawn away to the Potters and won the league – United would join Leicester in 2015-16 and neighbours Manchester City in 2011-12 and 2013-14 should they win the title.
The Foxes’ famous campaign – where they stunned the footballing world to win the Premier League – also saw them play out a 2-2 draw.

United however were disappointed to lose their 100 per cent start to the campaign, following 4-0 wins over West Ham and Swansea and a 2-0 victory against Leicester.
Having gone 1-0 down just before half-time, Marcus Rashford scored with virtually the final kick of the opening 45 minutes.
Romelu Lukaku then put United 2-1 ahead on the hour-mark... only for Choupo-Moting to level things up again.
