Stoke City, a club often accused of playing football that's about as exciting as watching paint dry, pulled off a minor miracle this weekend: they played football that was actually... good. At least, good enough to thoroughly dismantle a Watford side that seemed to have left their attacking intent somewhere on the M6. The Potters dispatched the Hornets with a convincing 3-1 victory, leaving Vicarage Road faithful wondering if their team had accidentally swapped shirts with a Sunday league outfit.
From the off, Stoke showed a flicker of ambition not always associated with their recent Championship campaigns.
