Stoke City goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen admits they need to learn to close out games after suffering last minute goals in consecutive games.

"We've got to learn to close out games," he acknowledged after their 1-1 draw with Bolton Wanderers. "I cannot remember what happened before the penalty, but they suddenly broke forward and it's a rash challenge. Sometimes you need to keep composed and he could have let him pass.

"It was so close to an important win - and not getting there feels like a loss really. They had a few things second half, but we coped.

"I would say 90 per cent of their attacking play is through Kevin Davies. If you take him out they haven't got a lot left.

"We played a high line and controlled the game, I felt, but you need to capitalise. It's three points gone."
