That\u2019s the joint top by a Stoke player in the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index alongside Glen Whelan\u2019s 21 pass performance in the game against Chelsea<\/p>\n<p>Adam also set a season high for the distance covered by an individual in a single game this season, covering 6.99 miles against Manchester United and inspiring Stoke to a team total of 66.68 miles, their highest as a team all season and the second highest by any team in a single match this season<\/p>\n<p>Kightly\u2019s stats in front of goal continue to impress, having had ten shots on target to just one off target, and two goals already this season<\/p>\n<p>Sunderland took a point in the North East derby via a deflected Demba Ba own goal. Sebastian Larsson delivered a typically dangerous free kick which was headed on by John O\u2019Shea before being deflected into his own net by Ba<\/p>\n<p>The motivation of the North East derby clearly had an impact on Sunderland\u2019s passing, as the top four individual passing performances from a Sunderland player were all taken from that last game. Larsson (36), Gardner (33), Colback (31) and Rose (29) rewrote Sunderland\u2019s passing statistics for the season becoming their top four for passes completed in their opponent\u2019s half in a game this season.<\/p>\n<p>Larsson was dangerous in his deliveries for Sunderland last season, but has had to concentrate on defensive duties this season and has put in more tackles (19, of which he has won 11) than he has crossed (13)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stoke v Sunderland, Saturday 15:00 Stoke played their part in an entertaining encounter against Manchester United
