An injury-time header from Stoke substitute Mamady Sidibe helped the Potters to a dramatic 3-2 win in their first ever home match in the Premier League.
He went on to make 47 appearances during the 2005–06 season scoring seven goals. Sidibé was more prolific during the 2006–07 season scoring nine goals as Stoke narrowly missed out on a play-off place.

It is very disappointing for us."Sidibé snapped his achilles tendon against Tottenham Hotspur which ruled him out the rest of 2010. [26] [27] He returned to first team training in January 2011.

[31] He was a major player under Tony Pulis as Stoke won their place in the Premier League in 2008. He scored rare but vital goals in the promotion season as he proved the perfect foil for Ricardo Fuller's magic - and he lifted the roof in the first home game up with an injury time header to seal a 3-2 win over Aston Villa. But in the fourth and final minute of injury time, second-half substitute Sidibe rose to head home Rory Delap's long throw-in to send the home fans into a frenzy.
