Xherdan Shaqiri scored a brace to lead Stoke City in the victory. The Swiss winger fired a long-range shot in the 26th minute to open the scoring before doubling the lead in the 50th with a free-kick.
Meanwhile, Swansea City is on a downward spiral as the team slipped to their eighth straight winless game, dropping to the 19th spot of the 20-team English top flight table.

New head coach Bob Bradley's boys have never tasted a victory since after winning their season-opener over Burnley when the team was still managed by sacked head coach Francesco Guidolin. Bradley joined the team on Oct. 3 as Guidolin was fired after less than a year in his tenure.
