Magath vows to get Fulham back in Premier League

Stoke City 4 Fulham 1

Magath’s future will inevitably come under scrutiny after a 4-1 defeat to Stoke which confirmed the 60-year-old had failed in his mission to avoid the drop and in the process experienced the first relegation of his own storied nine-club career.

Magath made no excuses for the feeble manner of his side’s demise, with goals from Peter Odemwingie, Marko Arnautovic, Oussama Assaidi and Jonathan Walters serving Stoke up the simplest of wins, with a Kieran Richardson effort offering scant consolation.
