Adam effort enough to beat Cottagers

Charlie Adam netted the winner in a second successive Britannia Stadium fixture as Stoke defeated Fulham 1-0 to extend their good run of Barclays Premier League home form.

The impressive Adam turned and finished from close range in the 26th minute to register his second goal as a Potters player.

His first was the decisive strike in the previous home match, the 1-0 win over QPR on November 10, and Stoke are now unbeaten in 13 games on their own turf in the league stretching back to February.
