Twitter Reacts: Shaqira Shaqira!
Oh boy, I can see you scoring free kicks and it’s driving me crazy. Too much? Yeah I agree probably is, but here we are again looking back at how the ‘twittersphere’ reacted to another 2-0 win.
The day began slowly and goals were hard to come by for all teams in the Premier League, but when Shaqiri whacked home his first most were in agreement that it was worth the wait.

Even people’s champion Gary Lineker was impressed.
First @premierleague goal of the day is a worldy from Shaqiri. If the scores don't change, Stoke could be top of the @BBCMOTD running order.

Even the most negative of Stoke fans were suitably impressed.
We are staying up

The home fans supporters new this was coming however, and revealed as much on the Wizards of Drivel Podcast.
Guess the lads at @HullCityFansTV were right to fear @XS_11official then…

Then it happened again with a wonderful free kick, but most were finding the whole routine a little monotonous.
Oh and Shaqiri scored another screamer, all getting a bit boring now 2-0 Stoke #SCFC #TBPTV

Shaqiri had finally dragged Stoke out of the relegation zone, and there was only one suitable dessert option in the Potteries this weekend.
I'm having a Swiss Roll party when I get back Stoke. You're all invited.

Unfortunately I couldn’t make Elliot’s party, speaking of disappointments not turning up we were all quite pleased that neither of these two made it onto the pitch this week.
"Crouch and Adam warming up" lollllll

Understandably jealous Hull fans even compiled beautiful montages of how fantastic XS22 was on the day, feel free to try and catch up with the amount of times I’ve watched it (currently 146).

Hull fans we’re very congratulatory of our, always, fantastic away support, but unfortunately their own clubs effort to get the crowd going fell on deaf ears (or would blind eyes more accurately describe it?).
Shout out to the Stoke fans, loudest away support I've heard this year

So there it is another fantastic performance and result. But before we go our separate ways for another week, here are some monstrosities to get you in the Halloween mood.
Whenever Stoke needed a goal today, Xherdan Shaqiri was there. https://t.co/zQigjFwAfw
