Alarm bells ring for Mark Hughes as shambolic Stoke lose at Swansea

This is a modal window.

Mark Hughes gave his verdict after Stoke lost at Swansea.

Given the opposition, Stoke arguably put in their worst performance of the season in the 2-0 away loss to Swansea on Saturday; a result that heaps even more pressure on under-fire manager Mark Hughes.

The Swans hadn't won in six games, yet it was the Potters who looked like they were on the brink of relegation.

The opening goal was another for the season's gag reel of set-piece defending with Swansea's leading scorer of headed goals, Fernando Llorente, left entirely unopposed to nod home.
