Ryan Shawcross admits Stoke City are 'sleepwalking' towards relegation as captain says: 'Something needs to change and change quickly'

Ryan Shawcross admitted Stoke have been 'sleepwalking' towards relegation after a draw with Burnley pushed them closer to the trapdoor.

The Potters are four points from safety with only three games left and manager Paul Lambert believes they need to win all their remaining matches to stay up.

Sunday's clash with Burnley at the bet365 Stadium was billed as a must-win fixture and the hosts made the perfect start when Badou Ndiaye gave them the lead early on.
