MATCH RATING
Entertainment 8
BEGOVIC: No chance with the goals and deserved better protection in front of him 8
CAMERON: Lost Welbeck on third goal, but thoroughly honest and composed effort in both halves of the field 7
WILSON: Wasted a couple of attacking situations, but by and large a dependable presence timing his challenges superbly 7
SHAWCROSS: Will be disappointed with a couple of the goals, but otherwise a solid enforcer and well worth that flight to Sweden with England next month 7
HUTH: Some excellent clearances under pressure and timely composure 8
WALTERS: Heavily involved in Stoke's move of the game and might have pulled the trigger on other occasions 7
NZONZI: Generally broke up the play and turned over possession smartly in the heat of battle 7
WHITEHEAD: All-action display to justify call up and his passing a lot better than some give him credit for 8
ADAM: Surely his best contribution yet as he manipulated the ball well and looked to have more energy 8
KIGHTLY: Always willing to attack defenders, which paid dividends second half 8
CROUCH: Much better first half than second as he frequently worried United's back line 7
SUBSTITUTES
ETHERINGTON (for Walters, 70): Put a fresh spring in Stoke's step in the latter stages 7
OWEN (for Kightly, 73): Produced Stoke's one effort late on and always showing for the pass 7
PALACIOS (for Whitehead, 86): A late run out on surprise return 6
