Stoke 3-1 QPR
Stoke cruised to victory as 10-man Queens Park Rangers remained in the Championship's relegation zone.
Richard Cresswell nodded City ahead after just five minutes after Rory Delap's long throw-in was not cleared.
Liam Lawrence's curling free-kick made it 2-0, while QPR's Dexter Blackstock was sent off just after the break for a reckless lunge at Ryan Shawcross.
Rowan Vine's fierce 25-yard drive gave QPR a lifeline before Leon Cort headed Stoke's third from Lawrence's cross.
