Stoke 2-0 Burnley: Jon Walters and Marc Muniesa lift Potters into the top-half

Stoke City's recent resurgence continued with a fifth Premier League win in seven as Mark Hughes' men comfortably beat Burnley 2-0 at the bet365 Stadium on Saturday.

Hughes found himself under pressure earlier in the season after losing four in a row, but the club's patience is now paying dividends as they built on last week's strong 1-0 win at Watford with another impressive display to leave Stoke with just one defeat in nine.


Although the visitors started with purpose, Stoke soon seized control of proceedings and went ahead through Jonathan Walters' fine 20th-minute finish.

Stoke deservedly doubled their advantage before the break, with Marc Muniesa rounding off a flowing move to score his first Premier League goal for the club.

Burnley became more of a threat in the second half, but Bruno Martins Indi and Muniesa were in fine form at the back for Stoke, letting very little past them.
