Josh Laurent's brilliant goal helped Stoke City end Stevenage's FA Cup run and progress to the fifth round.
The League Two side, who knocked out Aston Villa, hit back through Jamie Reid's equaliser after Jacob Brown had given Stoke an early lead.
But Laurent put the Championship team back in front when he cut in from the right and sent an unstoppable left-footed strike into the far corner.
Lewis Baker sealed Stoke's victory with a penalty.
The spot-kick was controversially awarded by referee David Webb after what seemed a perfectly fair challenge on Brown by Jonathan Tomkinson.
