Stoke City manager Mark Hughes admits that his side were made to work hard against an "excellent" Wrexham performance in their FA Cup third-round win.

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has claimed that his side were made to work hard against an "excellent" Wrexham team in the FA Cup third round, and were lucky to get the win in the end.

The Potters found themselves a goal down against the Conference side with just 10 minutes to go, but late goals by Marko Arnautovic and Stephen Ireland turned the tie around and gave the Premier League outfit a 3-1 win.

Hughes told BBC Sport after the game: "We didn't play anything like we should have done and credit to Wrexham, they were excellent.

"In the end we got away with it. We made changes at the end to try to get some craft into our play and thankfully Stephen Ireland took the game away from them.

"It's been a tough period for everybody and I think I have 17 or 18 players I can call upon. I was hoping I didn't have to use the likes of Peter Crouch and Jonathan Walters."

Stoke are now in the hat for the fourth round of the FA Cup.
