Stoke City's D'Margio Wright-Phillips: 'I'd hate to play against him' says Potters coach

Stoke City assistant boss Dean Holden said he would "hate to play" against D'Margio Wright-Phillips after overseeing his impressive league debut.

The 20-year-old son of Shaun Wright-Phillips and grandson of Arsenal legend Ian Wright was one of several new boys to catch the eye in Sunday's 2-0 Championship victory against Hull City.

But Wright-Phillips Jr was the one chosen as man of the match.

"He has great technical ability and is so direct," Holden told BBC Stoke.

"He wants to take you on the back foot and look for opportunities to exploit defenders.
