Stoke City 3-0 Plymouth Argyle: Potters move six points clear of relegation zone

Stoke City all but secured their Championship safety with a comfortable win against Plymouth Argyle, who remain in a relegation battle.

Ki-Jana Hoever and Million Manhoef's first-half strikes were followed by a late goal from Wouter Burger as the Potters put six points between themselves and the drop zone with two matches left to play.

Argyle, who were helped by Huddersfield losing heavily against Swansea, are four points above the bottom three with games against Millwall and Hull remaining.

Stoke went into the game knowing that their far superior goal difference over Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday meant victory would go a long way to keeping them in the division.
