Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland admits that his side are disappointed with their 2-2 draw against Leicester City, despite twice coming from behind to earn a point.

Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland has admitted that his side are not entirely satisfied with their 2-2 draw against Leicester City this afternoon, despite coming from behind twice at the bet365 Stadium.

Xherdan Shaqiri and substitute Peter Crouch cancelled out goals from Vicente Iborra and Riyad Mahrez respectively as Stoke rescued a point against Claude Puel's side which lifts them four points clear of the relegation zone.

However, despite recovering twice to avoid defeat, Butland had mixed emotions after the match and believes that his side could have gone on to take all three points.

"We're actually a little bit disappointed in the dressing room. We had chances to win that game but also we came back twice from falling behind," he told BBC Radio 5 live

"We're picking up a bit of momentum now and the second half performance was pleasing. A much better and more solid performance last week against Watford and this week we were able to expand on that and do things with the ball.

"We were much better today, but unfortunately couldn't quite turn it into all three points."

Stoke are not in action again until November 20, when they take on Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.
