March 4 (Reuters) - Forward Marko Arnautovic's first-half double gave Stoke City a 2-0 win over Middlesbrough on Saturday and sent the visitors into the relegation zone for the first time this season.

A piece of brilliance from Arnautovic put Stoke ahead as he flicked Glenn Whelan's long ball past two defenders with a superb first touch before skipping past the on-rushing Victor Valdes and slotting the ball high into the net.
