John Obi Mikel’s Stoke City are through to the Carabao Cup quarter-final after defeating Aston Villa 1-0 on Thursday night.
Sam Vokes’ first-half striker was all Michael O’Neill’s side need to win at Villa Park, and in the process securing a place in the competition’s last eight for the first time in five years.
The former Chelsea star was handed a starter’s role to former a five-man Potters’ midfield alongside Jordan Thompson, Josh Tymon, Jacob Brown and Nick Powell.
