Captain Josh Laurent scored twice as Stoke thrashed Rotherham 6-1 to book their place in the third round of the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n

The win extends the Potters\u2019 perfect home record to four victories in all competitions this season \u2013 a run that started with a 4-1 triumph over the Millers on the opening day of the new Championship campaign.<\/p>\n

Stoke took an early lead when Dutchman Wouter Burger, making his full debut having recently signed from FC Basel, drove home from long distance after picking up Cameron Humphreys\u2019 headed clearance.<\/p>\n

Ryan Mmaee doubled the home side\u2019s advantage in the 18th minute, beautifully bending the ball into the net after Mehdi Leris, also making his full debut having signed from Sampdoria, had pulled a cross back to him.<\/p>\n

Rotherham skipper Sean Morrison\u2019s header from a Cafu corner swiftly halved the deficit, but Stoke restored their two-goal lead just before the half-hour mark as Laurent arrowed a shot into the bottom corner after picking up possession outside the box.<\/p>\n

The advantage was further extended as half-time approached, with Tyrese Campbell curling his effort in off the crossbar after toying with defender Jamie McCart in the area.<\/p>\n

Any slender hopes the visitors had of staging a comeback were dashed in the 55th minute, when Laurent latched onto Campbell\u2019s headed pass and rifled the ball into the net for his second goal of the night.<\/p>\n

Leris completed the rout with a fine finish 18 minutes from time, scoring a first goal for his new club after being played through by Laurent.<\/p>\n
