ROUND-UP

STOKE CITY eased to a third win of the season with a 2-0 success at home to BOLTON. Defender Bruno Martins Indi was left unmarked at a corner to nod in the opening goal on 10 minutes. Josh Magennis thought he had equalised, but his header was ruled out for holding Ashley Williams, and Tom Ince wrapped up the points for Stoke with a well-taken second shortly afterwards. At the DW Stadium, WIGAN’S Christian Walton was the busier goalkeeper, pulling off a number of fine saves in the goalless draw with SWANSEA. Wigan had gone into the game unbeaten in their previous 12 home matches but the Swans looked the more likely side to take the lead. Will Grigg’s big chance to snatch the points for Wigan came with 10 minutes left but Kristoffer Nordfeldt saved. In League One, Ronan Curtis curled home the only goal in first-half stoppage time as

PORTSMOUTH extended their lead at the top with a 1-0 win at COVENTRY. Curtis’s strike from Brett Pitman’s lay-off proved enough for Pompey on a night which saw their six closest challengers fail to win.
