Stoke City are out of the FA Cup after losing 2–1 to Fulham at the bet365 Stadium.
The Potters went ahead through Jun-Ho Bae, who opened the scoring after 19 minutes, but the Premier League side fought back in the second half to turn the tie around.
Goals from Kevin and Harrison Reed secured Fulham’s place in the next round, with Reed scoring the late winner.
Stoke had started brightly against their top-flight opponents, but Fulham grew into the game after the break and proved difficult to contain.
Manager Mark Robins said there were still positives to take from the performance against higher-level opposition.
