Stoke 2 - 1 Shrewsbury

Stoke booked their passage to the third round of the Carling Cup after overcoming League Two Shrewsbury.

The Premier League side had to survive a mini scare as the visitors threatened a comeback when Steve Leslie headed in at the back post on 79 minutes.

But in the end, two first-half headers proved enough to send Stoke through.

Jon Walters struck his first goal for the Potters when he headed in on 26 minutes and Tuncay doubled the lead with a header 11 minutes later.
