Dutch forward Million Manhoef scored the all-important goal as the Potters extended Wayne Rooney's winless start.

"It was a big three points that we needed," said the Stoke boss. "I am drained, for the neutral it was a really good game, end to end, and we expected it to go like that said whoever "We shows the most quality on the breaks will go and win it. We didn't show enough quality with the big chances we got but then Million produces another moment of magic and we go away delighted.

"We picked a really attacking team and wanted to cause Argyle problems. We picked a team with speed at the back because we know what they are about up top, they have pace. I felt we should have scored and been ahead at half time.
