Tyrese Campbell and Mario Vrancic helped Stoke return to winning ways as Michael O'Neill's men eased past QPR 2-0 at Loftus Road on Sunday to move into the top six in the Championship.
The visitors had lost their previous two league matches but looked back to their best in the capital.
Campbell handed Stoke the lead in the 14th minute when he latched onto a fine through ball from Mario Vrancic before producing a composed finish past Seny Dieng.
Vrancic then rounded off the scoring himself with just over 10 minutes to go as he curled an effort home from just outside the penalty area to wrap up all three points.
