Goals from defenders Rhys Norrington-Davies and Harry Souttar gave Stoke City a deserved win over Championship strugglers Wycombe Wanderers.
Left-back Norrington-Davies slotted the ball low past David Stockdale to break the deadlock after a clever one-two with Steven Fletcher carved open Wycombe's defence shortly after the hour mark.
Souttar headed home his first goal for the club minutes later after meeting Jack Clarke's curling corner.
Wycombe failed to create any clear-cut chances, with Michael O'Neill's side dominating throughout and wasting several earlier openings to kill the game.
Nick Powell's header clattered off the crossbar after five minutes before Fletcher fired straight at Stockdale as the Potters failed to find their clinical touch in the first half.
