Manchester United's stumbles in the Premier League continued Sunday with a 1-1 home draw against struggling Stoke, which left Old Trafford with a point for the first time in 36 years. United, which has won just one of its last four league games, took the lead in the 69th minute through Anthony Martial's curling strike - two minutes after he came on as a substitute. Joe Allen grabbed an 82nd-minute equalizer for Stoke following a rare mistake by David de Gea, who fumbled a long-range shot to allow Jon Walters to scoop a cross against the bar before Allen smashed home from close range.
