Stoke, with the impressive Sol Sidibe pulling strings from midfield, hit the woodwork twice in the first half while not quite always keeping the backdoor shut.

It meant the game went to penalties in front of the Boothen End and Johansson saved three – two to his left and one to his right – to mean Sidibe and Emre Tezgel’s successful spot kicks won it for the Potters despite misses from Tom Cannon and Wouter Burger.
