Walters shows his class as Stoke victory bucks Rodgers’ Reds

Republic of Ireland international Jonathan Walters showed that Stoke can be entertaining on the pitch as they hit three against Liverpool to claim a deserved three points.

Steven Gerrard’s second-minute spot kick got Liverpool off to a flying start but they were pegged back almost immediately by Walters and soon after Kenwyne Jones put the Potters ahead.

Walters secured the points in the second half with a tasty finish and despite late pressure from the visitors, it was Stoke who took the three points.
