Ramadan Sobhi cancelled out Tom Ince's early goal as Stoke held Huddersfield to a 1-1 draw at the John Smith's Stadium on Boxing Day
Sobhi, a first-half substitute for the injured Ryan Shawcross, slid home his second goal in as many games from Joe Allen's low cross on the hour-mark
Earlier, Ince had given Huddersfield the lead with his first goal for the club, thumping Collin Quaner's cut-back past Jack Butland in the 10th minute
Sobhi's leveller came against the run of play as Huddersfield dominated the second half, but David Wagner's side were unable to break down the stubborn visitors in the closing stages
It was a valuable point for Mark Hughes, who has been under pressure in recent weeks, but it looked like it might be a long afternoon for the Stoke manager when Ince scored with the first clear chance of the game
Stoke's best opportunities in the first half came in the space of a few seconds when Huddersfield somehow survived a frantic goalmouth scramble
It started with Jonas Lossl parrying a Shawcross header, and ended with the Huddersfield goalkeeper pushing Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting's overhead kick onto the post
 The ball was millimetres from crossing the line as it bounced back into Lossl's arms
Huddersfield's Rajiv van La Parra tested Jack Butland with a curling shot shortly before half-time, and the hosts continued on the front foot in the second half
But a few minutes after Van La Parra had forced another fine save from Butland, Stoke struck the leveller
 Sobhi, who scored his first goal for Stoke in their 3-1 win over West Brom at the weekend, was booked after jubilantly celebrating with the travelling fans
The closing stages were played at a frantic pace, with both sides seeing strong penalty appeals turned down
 First, referee Anthony Taylor waved play on after Allen appeared to bring down Aaron Mooy, then Stoke were equally aggrieved when Christopher Schindler seemed to trip Mame Biram Diouf
Huddersfield were camped in Stoke's half as the home fans roared them on in the final 15 minutes, but they could not find a way through as the visitors put everyone behind the ball
Ince was in the right place at the right time to net his first Premier League goal since February 2014 and he went on to cause Stoke plenty of problems
 In total he attempted six shots on goal, frequently taking up dangerous positions in and around the box and showing a willingness to run at defenders
"I have seen our situation in the video footage again
 It is a clear penalty where the opponent didn't touch the ball, he only touched Aaron Mooy
""We feel a little bit aggrieved if I'm honest
 It was clearly a penalty on Mame Diouf in the middle of the box
 He is shaping to protect the ball and his legs have been taken away from him, so it's a clear penalty
"Huddersfield are back at the John Smith's Stadium when they host Burnley on Saturday, while Stoke travel to Chelsea on the same day
