Stoke City 2-1 Southampton: Adam hands Saints setback

Southampton’s Champions Leagues hopes are dented after Charlie Adam struck six minutes from time to help Stoke to a 2-1 win at the Britannia.

Morgan Schneiderlin opened the scoring for the visitors as he tapped in from close range from a corner after 22 minutes.

Straight from the half-time interval, Stoke's Mame Biram Diouf equalised after reacting first to Steven N'Zonzi's shot deflecting onto the crossbar.

But with just six minitues left to play, substitute Charlie Adam volleyed his shot into the ground past Kelvin Davis to seal maximum points.
