Tom Barkhuizen saw red after 22 minutes after a promising start from PNE but Stoke made their advantage pay. Here are the player ratings from the game...
9. Scott Sinclair - 6
Play generally went down the other side prior to the red card then his game changed even more to focus on tracking runners. Showed a good turn of pace on occasions but still more to come.
10. Jayden Stockley - 6
Put himself about as usual and won some good headers and flicks to link up with Maguire. Managed to fashion a few chances with his head but no real threat from him today.
11. Sean Maguire - 6
Looked sharp and lively, linked up with Stockley well at times but didn't threaten the Stoke goal. Helped with the fast start PNE had prior to the sending off.
12. Brad Potts - 6
Came off the bench to try and inject some energy into things, struggled to get himself into the game and make a mark though.
