Stoke boss Mark Hughes says Saido Berahino will end drought soon as wait for first goal extends to 10 games

Stoke boss Mark Hughes has emphasised his confidence that Saido Berahino will soon be scoring goals for the club.

Berahino's wait for his first goal for the Potters, who he joined from West Brom in January, extended to a 10th appearance with Saturday's 3-1 home win over Hull.

The 23-year-old forward made his sixth straight start in the game and was substituted by Hughes in the 58th minute, shortly after the visitors had equalised.

The decision to withdraw Berahino was booed by some Stoke fans, but the call was subsequently vindicated as his replacement Peter Crouch put the hosts 2-1 up by heading home a cross from Jonathan Walters, who had also come on just before the hour mark.
