Stoke City 2-1 Swansea City

Charlie Adam has scored two league goals this season

• Ryan Shawcross concedes seventh league penalty

• Stoke level through controversial penalty

• Swansea without a league win since August

• Mark Hughes' side move to 10th in the table

Substitute Jonathan Walters struck the winner as Stoke came from behind to defeat Swansea and claim just their second home league win this season.

The visitors, dominant in the first half, went ahead through a Wilfried Bony penalty after Ryan Shawcross was penalised for a foul on the Ivorian.

Stoke levelled through a Charlie Adam penalty as Angel Rangel was harshly judged to have fouled Victor Moses.

Walters' impact was immediate, heading home Oussama Assaidi's cross.

It is a victory which will ease the fears of those who worried about Stoke's home form this season.

Both Aston Villa and Leicester had already won at the Britannia Stadium during an indifferent start to the campaign for Mark Hughes's men, and Swansea's bright start to Sunday's match suggested another visiting team could leave the Potteries with three points.

But thanks to a little fortune with the Adam penalty, and the impact of second-half substitutes Walters and Assaidi, Stoke regrouped after the break to secure back-to-back home league victories.

Swansea, who are now without a win in five league games, will be frustrated at not having made the most of their first-half dominance and disappointed that Stoke were awarded a spot kick.

The visitors created two great chances - influential duo Gylfi Sigurdsson and Ki Sung-Yueng forcing Asmir Begovic into action - before they were awarded a penalty themselves.

As the players prepared for a corner, Shawcross needlessly pulled down Bony inside the area and referee Michael Oliver pointed to the spot.

Bony's composed finish further added to Shawcross' woe as no player has conceded more penalties in the Premier League since the 2008/09 season than the Stoke defender, whose unwanted tally stands at seven.

Fortunately for Shawcross, referee Oliver helped level matters by harshly penalising Rangel for what he believed was a foul on Moses just before the break.

There seemed to be little contact between the pair and the Spaniard was still shaking his head in disbelief even after Adam had stepped up to score his second goal of the season.

Stoke were far better after the restart, retaining possession and creating a number of chances against a retreating Swansea.

First, Adam shot from distance and then Peter Crouch - who had scored four goals in his last five Premier League appearances against the Welsh side - headed wide from a corner.

Walters made a 62nd-minute introduction to the match - and his bullet of a header from Assaidi's cross ensured Stoke leapt to 10th in the table while Swansea, after a promising start to the season, fell to eighth.
