    • Rotherham United
    • 90' A comfortable win in the end for Stoke.
    • 86' Reid cuts in from the right flank and sends a looping effort over the top of the Stoke bar! He has been Rotherham's best performer.
    • 83' Rhodes is put clean through but Simonsen comes out to block!
    • 77' Kitson backheels it for Fuller, he slips it to Pugh who shoots but Warrington can only parry and Kitson is in to finish but ruled out for offside!
    • 60' GOAL STOKE! Pugh on the ball, he breaks into the box and is one-on-one and puts it past Warrington into the bottom left for 2-0!
    • 58' STOKE SUB: Olofinjana comes off for Faye.
    • 55' A cross comes in to Reid on the edge of the box and he spins with the volley but over!
    • 52' Rotherham come forward now as Reid has a pop but a great save by Simonsen!
    • 50' Stoke with a nice passing move, out wide to Whelan who crosses for Kitson with the shot and PERICARD but he misses the overhead!

    • 45' Half-time and Stoke lead through that excellent Whelan free-kick!
    • 37' Rotherham send in a long throw, Stoke clear and counter, it's with Kitson now who feeds Pericard who tries to roll Fenton and goes to ground but no penalty! Pericard is furious but the referee Mark Halsey calls him for tugging.
    • 33' Stoke attack again and the ball is in for Cresswell from who volleys and a wonderful save by Warrington, who tips it onto the post!
    • 32' Stoke go long again and Cresswell almost combines with Pericard but Rotherham survive.
