Stoke City midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri produced a wonder goal to help secure a 3-1 win over Hull City.

Shaqiri's stunning 30-yard strike capped a Stoke victory that eased their relegation fears and left Hull still looking nervously over their shoulder after another fruitless away day.

The Swiss fired into the top corner with 10 minutes remaining in a 3-1 win for the Potters, who ended their four-game losing streak to move 11 points clear of a relegation zone which Hull remain just two above.

Still without an away success in the league since August, Marco Silva's side had been level when Harry Maguire cancelled out Marko Arnautovic's opener, yet substitute Peter Crouch restored Stoke's lead before Shaqiri's moment of magic.

"He's all power and strength and muscularity," said an admiring Stoke boss Mark Hughes, "and he's a technician as well.

"It's about his technical ability and his ability to pick the right amount of swerve and cut and whatever else he does to it.

"I'm pleased for him because he's had a difficult time with injuries, but he's had two 90 minutes now and that should be him clear of injuries."
