Tottenham raced away to turn a first-half advantage into a full-time supremacy here and, in the process, cast further doubt on Hughes’s tenure as Stoke manager. Then in the 21st minute, Son made the breakthrough. In the 53rd minute they had the ball in the Tottenham half, but when possession was turned over they were in trouble. Stoke did get on the scoresheet, Shawcross heading in after Hugo Lloris missed a corner in the 80th minute. Now three points off the drop zone and unable to keep a clean sheet, Stoke are being dragged into a relegation battle.
