Stoke City 2-1 Derby County: Potters claim second win under Pelach

Stoke led when Enda Stevens’ through ball found Cannon, who went down in the penalty area under a challenge from Derby’s Swedish international keeper Jacob Widell Zetterström.

Leicester City loan man Cannon picked himself up off the turf to fire the spot-kick into the bottom right corner for his fifth league goal for Stoke – all five of which have come in just two games at the bet365 Stadium.

The 21-year-old scored four goals in Pelach’s only other Potters win, the 6-1 victory over Portsmouth at the start of October.

On-loan Brighton midfielder Andrew Moran should have have made it 2-0 but shot wide before Cannon almost got his second just before the hour when, after being fed by Bae Jun-ho, he was denied by a combination of keeper Zetterström and Erin Cashin.

Zetterstrom then made a great save to thwart Jun-ho’s header from Stevens’ cross.
