DERBY, England – Stoke easily accounted for an unexpectedly lacklustre Derby 2-0 to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday.
Derby had won five straight matches at home and not conceded a goal in its last four, but that run ended within five minutes.
Stoke, last year’s finalist, scored from a corner when Cameron Jerome tapped in.
The match muddled on until the 81st, when another corner set up centre back Robert Huth’s volley to double the lead.
