Stoke goalkeeper Viktor Johansson was the star of the show as the Potters ended their away day woes with a 2-0 win at Blackburn.

Stoke made the trip north without a win or a goal in any of their last four league games on the road but soaked up first-half pressure from Rovers before Million Manhoef struck just before the hour.
