Hello and welcome to our live coverage as Stoke City and Maccabi Tel Aviv do battle at the Britannia Stadium.

Meanwhile PAOK Salonika are taking on Shamrock Rovers in Greece.

Tottenham have just gone ahead in their Europa League tie - and the goal was a bit special. You can follow that game live

Jerome penalised for tugging Pavicevic's arm, and he's booked. Stoke don't need needless yellows like that from this position.

GOAL! SHOTTON MAKES IT THREE! Jerome left on his own one-on-one with Haimov, who gets enough of a touch to send Jerome wide - but the striker lays it off for Shotton, and he slides it in past the despairing defenders.

Shotton with a long throw, but having got into the penalty area for it, Shawcross is penalised for the way he tries to get to the ball.

Not a happy half hour for Maccabi Tel Aviv. Comebacks are possible - as we saw earlier when Birmingham stunned Brugge - but this is a really long way back.

Konate misses out! It broke his way in space - and he had plenty of time but dallied selfishly for Upson to close him down and block. Atar hares over to him and gives him a piece of his mind!

Dahan and Saban combine as Maccabi spread the ball to the right.

Atar touching his ankle here and he looks as if it might be bad enough that he cannot continue. A hangover from the Diao challenge?

Stoke in total control of this one. And they look like they could get more at this rate.

GOAL! JEROME MAKES IT TWO! Horrible defending from a nervous keeper and weak defence. All the runners surge forward and all Jerome has to do is make contact to beat Haimov.

Ziv is penalised for a sliding tackle on Shotton - bit fortunate to get the decision, but it's another useful set-piece opportunity.

Jones spreads the ball wide to Huth, whose cross teases Jerome - he gets his head to hit, but finds the gap between the target and the onrushing Jones - and Maccabi Tel Aviv have a goal-kick.

This time the Greek referee awards Haimov a free-kick after Jerome backed into him going for the corner.

Good play from Etherington, whose cross is blocked out by Konate for a corner. Danger here for the away side.

Haimov passes the ball out as Medunjanin looks to get the visitors on the move.

Shotton comes up for a long throw - he's been identified as the successor to Rory Delap for long throws.

Atar a little unlucky not to get a kick, replays show. Diao caught him on the shin.

Salif Diao tackles Atar as the Israeli side look for a way through on the edge of the area - this time the referee waves away the appeal for the free-kick.
