Stoke City boss Mark Hughes: "A draw would have been a fair result"

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes feels that his side were unlucky not to earn a point against Liverpool as they fell to a 1-0 defeat to Brendan Rodgers's men.

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes has admitted that his side's 1-0 defeat to Liverpool was "hard to take".

The Potters had the majority of possession at the Britannia Stadium and prevented the Reds from carving out any clear-cut opportunities at the other end of the pitch as the clash looked to be heading for a goalless draw.

However, Philippe Coutinho struck four minutes from time with a stunning effort to win the game for the Merseysiders.

Hughes told Sky Sports News: "It's a hard one to take. A bit of magic has won them the three points. A draw would have been a fair result."

Stoke are next in action against Tottenham Hotspur next week.
