Etebo was substituted

On Tuesday night, stoke City was defeated by Swansea by 3 goals to 1. The match ended with stoke City having just 9 men left in the pitch.

Stoke City manager Nathan Jones substituted Etebo in the match because he didnt want him to be red carded.

He explained:

“He has to keep his discipline because any mis-timed tackle and we could have had him sent off too,” Jones told Stoke City’s official website.
“That’s why I brought him off late on when I thought the game was done and we couldn’t afford another sending off.
“He’s frustrated because we weren’t playing the way we would like or the way we have been playing lately but we need to be better than that and we will be.
“It’s a difficult one but they were better than us.”
