Swansea City

The Swans suffered their fourth defeat in five matches to lose further ground on the Championship's top six.

Ntcham fails to control a Manning throw-in, and Stoke win the ball back. Liam Cullen then came on for Sorinola with just over 10 minutes left on the clock in what was one final roll of the dice from Martin. But the hosts failed to build on that dream start and gave the Potters plenty of hope with some risky play in their own half. It was no less than the Potters deserved as their pressure forced Swansea into mistakes time and time again. Having survived a few scares with Morgan Fox and Jacob Brown having efforts, the Swans conceded yet another cheap goal. What a strange old night. And Whittaker took just shy of two minutes to make a telling impact. Russell Martin made three changes to the side that started against Blackburn Rovers three days earlier. Ryan Manning was then denied by the Stoke goalkeeper as Martin sent on Olivier Ntcham for Harry Darling with half an hour gone in a switch that saw the home side move to a back four. Sorinola lofted a direct ball towards the Stoke box after the visitors had cleared a corner, and Whittaker controlled it beautifully on his chest before prodding beyond Matija Sarkic via the crossbar to net his first goal for the club since bagging a hat-trick against his now former club Plymouth Argyle in what was Martin's first month as boss. But the Swans were alarmingly sloppy in possession at the back after that and saw Josh Laurent strike twice in the space of four minutes before Lewis Baker struck in injury-time to earn the Potters all three points as Swansea lost for the fourth time in five matches. The hosts made a dream start at the Swansea.com Stadium as Morgan Whittaker scored in the second minute on what was his first start for the club since returning from his loan spell with Plymouth Argyle.
