Stoke heaps more pressure on Newcastle
PETER Crouch headed in the only goal as Stoke beat Newcastle 1-0 for its first home victory of the season in the English Premier League on Monday, ratcheting up the pressure on visiting manager Alan Pardew.
Crouch rose above Fabricio Coloccini to head in a cross from Victor Moses in the 15th minute, which proved enough against a Newcastle side that struggled to create scoring chances and remained without a win this season.
Moses was lively throughout at a rain-drenched Britannia Stadium and appealed unsuccessfully for a penalty when he was pushed down in the area by Yoan Gouffran shortly afterward. Substitute Marko Arnautovic hit the post for Stoke early in the second half.
Jack Colback came closest to equalizing when he hit the crossbar.
Newcastle is second from bottom with three points from six games and has won only once in 14 top-flight games stretching back to last season.
