'Devastated' Lambert won't blame Stoke players

Stoke City boss Paul Lambert stressed he would not be blaming individuals after the 1-1 draw with Brighton at the bet365 Stadium that saw the hosts have a late penalty saved. The relegation-threatened Potters were awarded a 90th-minute spot kick when referee Bobby Madley judged that Jese Rodriguez had been fouled by Dale Stephens. After Jese complained in animated fashion about not being given the chance to do so, it was fellow substitute Charlie Adam who took the penalty, and saw his effort from 12 yards saved by Matt Ryan.
