Stoke City manager Michael O'Neill has showered encomium on John Obi Mikel for his performance in their 1-0 victory over Rotherham United in Saturday’s Championship game.
James McClean scored the only goal of the game in the 27th minute as the Potters secured their fourth win of the season.
Mikel was one of the stand-out performers in the encounter, playing a key role as the Bet365 Stadium outfit kept a clean sheet.
The former Nigeria international had 36 touches on the ball, made two tackles and won five aerial contests in the match.
