Stoke 3-1 Stevenage: Jacob Brown, Josh Laurent and Lewis Baker on target as The Potters see off a valiant challenge from their League Two opposition to progress to the FA Cup fifth round

Stoke 3-1 Stevenage: Alex Reid's side saw off their League Two opposition to progress in the FA Cup.

Steve Evans' side punched above their weight with a win over Premier League Aston Villa in the third round, but they were quickly brought back down to earth when Jacob Brown put Stoke ahead after 3 minutes.

Former England international Phil Jagielka was forced into action after 17 minutes when Connor Taylor was forced off injured.

Stevenage remained in the game though, and found the equaliser they had been searching for through Jamie Reed in the second half but Josh Laurent was on hand to restore the Potters' lead minutes later.
