Stoke City celebrated their first win in over a month as Mark Hughes' players hit Manchester's Menagerie bar for their Christmas party on Saturday night.
The Potters, who sit 13th in the Premier League, were given the green light to go out by their manager after he praised the 'courage and character' shown in their home victory over Swansea City.
Among the players out ahead of the hectic festive period were Joe Allen, Charlie Adam and Erik Pieters, joined by their wives Lacey-Jo, Sophie and Nermina.
They were pictured outside upmarket Manchester eaterie Menagerie to enjoy the festive celebrations before Stoke endure a run of five games in 18 days starting with a trip to Tottenham this coming Saturday.
