Football: Stoke deepen Wolves’ drop fears

STOKE: FA Cup finalists Stoke’s fine run of form continued as they dealt a huge blow to Wolves prospects of staying in the Premier League with a 3-0 win.

Goals by Trinidadian international Kenwyne Jones, Ryan Shawcross and the outstanding Jermaine Pennant easily saw off a woeful Wolves side, who are second from bottom, a point adrift of safety with four matches remaining.

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy was bemused by the poor performance but swore that they would fight for every point in their remaining matches.

“That’s as poor as we have played here,” he said.

“They were better than us. We will play better in the remaining four games.”
