Potters silence struggling Wolves
Stoke surely secured their Barclays Premier League status for a fourth successive season with an emphatic 3-0 victory over relegation battlers Wolves at the Britannia Stadium.
It is a fine time for Tony Pulis' side, who also have an FA Cup final to look forward to for the first time on May 14 against Manchester City.
Once Stoke made the breakthrough they never looked back against their midlands rivals.
Kenwyne Jones opened the scoring in the 16th minute, Ryan Shawcross extended their lead on the stroke of half-time and Jermaine Pennant added a third in the 51st minute, leaving Wolves rooted in the bottom three after their 13th defeat in 17 away league games.
The only sour moment for the hosts came in the 28th minute when Matthew Etherington pulled up sharply clutching his hamstring and was carried off on a stretcher, just weeks before the final at Wembley.
