Defensive errors pulling down Stoke, says manager Hughes

(Reuters) - Stoke City must cut out their "catastrophic" mistakes in defence if they are to climb up the Premier League table, manager Mark Hughes has said. Stoke, who are 15th in the table, conceded four goals for the fifth time this season in Saturday's loss to leaders Chelsea. "In key moments in games, defensively, we have to be a lot sounder than we are at the moment," Hughes told British media.
