Swansea City supporters’ nightmares became a reality on Halloween with former striker Wilfried Bony netting on Monday evening.
Stoke City’s Wilfried Bony scores against former club Swansea
The worst possible scenario played out in front of Swansea City fans at the Bet365 Stadium and the Sky cameras as Joe Allen set up Wilfried Bony to put Stoke City ahead.
The Potters took the lead with their first corner of the match when Allen stabbed across goal for Bony to thump in from close range.
The man who got the assist, Joe Allen, graduated from the Swansea academy before representing the club at senior level for five years, before securing a big move for Liverpool.

Swansea were reportedly offered first refusal on Allen when he left Liverpool in the summer but opted to decline for financial reasons.
Goal-scorer Wilfried Bony enjoyed the form of his life in South Wales, scoring 26 league goals in 54 appearances and that fine form saw him lured away by Manchester City.
The Ivory Coast international failed to cut it at the Etihad Stadium and joined Stoke on loan this summer.
