Super Eagles duo of Victor Moses and Sone Aluko were in action at opposing ends as Stoke City beat Hull City 1-0 on Saturday thanks to substitute Peter Crouch's seventh Premier League goal of the season.
A lacklustre, scrappy first half ended without a single effort on target from either team.
Moses and Steven N'Zonzi both made good runs from midfield in the opening 15 minutes, only to be wasteful in the penalty area when under pressure.
It was not until the 20th minute that the visitors were able to pose a threat, as Aluko skipped past Philipp Wolscheid but was unable to hit the target from a tight angle.
But with the game seemingly drifting towards a drab draw, a lovely move between Stoke's two substitutes finally opened the scoring.
