Stoke City 1-1 Manchester City: Whelan score,Faye sent-off
uk.eurosport.com
Abdoulaye Faye was shown a straight red card after the break following a dour first half but Glenn Whelan fired the home side ahead after 72 minutes.
And Stoke looked to be headed for their seventh home win of the season until Barry responded quickest to poke home with five minutes remaining before Ryan Shawcross saw his 95th-minute header dubiously ruled out.
Roberto Mancini faced a selection headache before kick-off with Carlos Tevez and Craig Bellamy out and Shaun Wright-Phillips, Stephen Ireland and Martin Petrov, who all eventually made the bench, struggling to shrug off knocks.
And the visitors, who had lost their previous two away games at Hull City and Everton, were slow out of the blocks, with Stoke dictating the opening exchanges.
Man City failed to deal with a long Rory Delap throw but were let off the hook with Shay Given collecting a tame shot in a crowded box before Delap saw his shot from the edge of the area blocked while Whelan volleyed over.
And Faye saw his powerful header nodded over the bar by Joleon Lescott in what proved to be the best chance of the half.
But City weathered the storm, with Micah Richards and Lescott, playing his third game since returning from injury, particularly strong at the back during the opening 45 minutes.
Faye was Stoke's star man during the first half, performing his limited duties to perfection.
But the former Newcastle defender was sent for an early bath by referee Alan Wiley after miscontrolling a long City clearance and subsequently hauling down Emmanuel Adebayor.
Credit to Stoke, though, as Tony Pulis's troops refused to lie down and Ricardo Fuller had a penalty appeal turned down after a tangle of legs with Barry.
And their wholehearted approach paid dividends when a catalogue of errors handed them the advantage.
Man City failed to deal with Delap's cross from the left and, after Adam Johnson's attempted clearance ended in an air-shot, Whelan fired a 22-yard strike at the flapping Given, who pushed the ball into his own net.
City began to get a stranglehold on the game with substitute Wright-Phillips proving a menace down the right.
But the equaliser came in fortunate circumstances when Adebayor rose to nod on to Barry, whose side-footed volley hit the post only for the ball to fall to the former Aston Villa captain who turned it home despite lying in the heap on the floor with Shawcross.
And there was still time in a frantic finish for Shawcross to have his towering header disallowed for a foul on Given as Stoke searched for what would have been an unlikely but deserved win.

Hull City 2-1 Manchester City: Boateng 25 yards volley
espnstar.com
Hull followed up Tuesday's draw with Chelsea by defeating Manchester City to climb out of the relegation zone.
Phil Brown's side had not won since November but were buoyed by their performance against the Blues and deservedly took a 31st-minute lead through the impressive Jozy Altidore.
City then found themselves two down nine minutes after the break thanks to a rocket from George Boateng and, although Emmanuel Adebayor quickly pulled one back, they rarely threatened to equalise.
The talking point before the game was the inclusion in the City side of Wayne Bridge after two months out with a knee injury and amid the fall-out from John Terry's alleged affair with his former partner.
Craig Bellamy and youngster Dedryk Boyata also returned to the City starting XI while January signings Adam Johnson and Patrick Vieira were among the substitutes.
Hull boss Phil Brown named an unchanged XI from the side that drew with Chelsea.
Having booed Terry relentlessly when Chelsea visited the KC Stadium in midweek, the Hull fans also subjected Bridge to some taunts.
It was the hosts, clearly buoyed by their performance against the league leaders, who began the brighter and Altidore won a free-kick 20 yards out when he was felled by Kolo Toure, who picked up a yellow card.
The USA striker had looked lively from the start but his set-piece was deflected behind by the visitors' wall.
Boyata looked nervy and he became the second City defender to be booked inside 20 minutes when he pulled back Altidore after the striker had out-muscled him.
Stephen Hunt's free-kick from the left was headed away but, when it was launched back in, Steven Mouyokolo headed on for Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, who fired wide of the far post from 10 yards.
City simply could not get into their rhythm and it was Hull who deservedly took the lead in the 31st minute.
Boateng played the ball into Vennegoor of Hesselink just inside the area and his lay-off was expertly curled round Shay Given by Altidore for his first Premier League goal.
The visitors finally threatened in the final moments of the half but Mouyokolo did well to block Carlos Tevez's close-range effort and Bridge then saw his shot saved by Boaz Myhill after a neat move down the left.
Hull again came out of the blocks the faster at the start of the second half and Altidore felt he should have had a penalty for a challenge by Nigel de Jong but referee Phil Dowd waved play on.
But the home fans did not have long to wait for a second, and there cannot have been many better goals scored at the KC Stadium.
Hunt's corner, which came after Bridge was beaten for pace by Craig Fagan, was cleared but only as far as Boateng 25 yards out and his beautifully-struck volley flew past Given.
That gave Hull breathing space after only nine minutes of the half but five minutes later City were back in it.
Johnson came on for his debut in place of Stephen Ireland and it was his corner, after Myhill had pushed Tevez's shot round the past, that eventually resulted in Adebayor netting from inside the six-yard box.
City boss Roberto Mancini chose that moment to reintroduce former Arsenal midfielder Vieira to English football in place of Bellamy.
The momentum was now with the visitors and Myhill had to be alert to tip Johnson's free-kick behind while Amr Zaki replaced Altidore for Hull.
The home side were mostly playing on the break and Zaki got away down the left but his shot was easily saved by Given.
Bridge's afternoon ended five minutes early as Mancini sent on Martin Petrov as a final throw of the dice and Johnson then almost caught out Myhill with a cross from the right that the keeper was grateful to see drop behind for a corner.
Tevez's snapshot drew another stop from Myhill while a late barrage ended with Adebayor poking a tame shot at the keeper as Hull celebrated a priceless win.

Phil Brown's side had not won since November but were buoyed by their performance against the Blues and deservedly took a 31st-minute lead through the impressive Jozy Altidore.
City then found themselves two down nine minutes after the break thanks to a rocket from George Boateng and, although Emmanuel Adebayor quickly pulled one back, they rarely threatened to equalise.
The talking point before the game was the inclusion in the City side of Wayne Bridge after two months out with a knee injury and amid the fall-out from John Terry's alleged affair with his former partner.
Craig Bellamy and youngster Dedryk Boyata also returned to the City starting XI while January signings Adam Johnson and Patrick Vieira were among the substitutes.
