Stoke scored twice in the final 12 minutes to salvage a 2-2 draw at Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday, keeping both teams without a win after two rounds this season.

Marko Arnautovic converted a 78th-minute penalty to get Stoke back into the game after conceding twice in the first half, before Mame Biram Diouf turned in substitute Stephen Ireland's cross in the 83rd.

Spurs looked like bouncing back from a 1-0 defeat at Manchester United last weekend when Eric Dier rose above two markers to meet Christian Eriksen's corner with a near-post header in the 19th minute. Nacer Chadli made it 2-0 in stoppage time, volleying in a deep cross by Ben Davies.

Ireland's introduction changed things for Stoke, which lost at home to Liverpool in its opener.
