Carabao Cup: Stoke 6-1 Rotherham: Potters hammer Millers to reach Carabao Cup third round

Stoke City reached the third round of the Carabao Cup in style as they hit Rotherham United for six at the Bet 365 Stadium.

Skipper Josh Laurent scored twice, Tyrese Campbell scored his first goal of the season and three summer signings Wouter Burger, Ryan Mmaee and Mehdi Leris all got on the scoresheet too.

Rotherham defender Sean Morrison briefly gave his side hope when he responded to early goals by Burger, on his home debut, and Mmaee, with his first for the club, to pull one back on 22 minutes.

But the Potters, who also beat Rotherham 4-1 on the opening day of the Championship season just 24 days ago, ran in two more before the break from Laurent and Campbell.
