Ultimately, it was an easy day for Stoke City, though a scoreless first half gave them reason to doubt. Early in the second half, the visiting Potters got a goal through Robert Huth, the defending heading home a corner kick to give Stoke a 1-0 lead over Blackburn. In second half stoppage time, Marc Wilson finished the work for Jon Walters and Ricardo Fuller to give Stoke a 2-0 win.

The second goal was built down the right, with Walters threading a ball into the channel opened between left back and center half. That's where Ricardo Fuller was making a run, one that went to the byline before the Jamaican cut a ball back toward the spot. Blackburn's defense a mess, they were unable to provide help as Wilson beat Paul Robinson for Stoke's second goal.
With the win, Stoke climbs to eighth place, a spot they'll hold into midweek thanks to the postponement at Bloomfield Road. Blackburn stays 13th pending Aston Villa's match against visiting Tottenham.
