Cameron Jerome's fourth goal in five games helped Stoke City to progress in the FA Cup this afternoon away at Derby County.
The striker's goal arrived with just five minutes on the clock when he was on hand to convert a cross from Glenn Whelan inside the six-yard box.
Despite going behind to an early goal, Nigel Clough's County failed to force Asmir Begovic into any real action throughout the tie.
Their failure to do so was eventually punished nine minutes from time. Jermaine Pennant sent in a corner which Robert Huth volleyed underneath the body of County goalkeeper Frank Fielding.
Stoke had chances to extend their lead even further but they were made to settle for two goals.
