Manchester City boss Mark Hughes was delighted with the impact made by teenager Danny Sturridge in their victory over Stoke.

He told City's website: "If there is a criticism of Daniel on occasion it's that when he comes on, he is so desperate to do well he's picked the wrong option. He maybe shoots when he should pass, and pass when he should shoot, but that was not the case against Stoke.

"I thought he was excellent, he linked up really well and picked out people in key areas."
