Stoke City forward Jonathan Walters has hailed the professionalism of his teammates following their FA Cup victory over Rochdale.

The Potters booked their spot in the fifth round by recording a 4-1 win at Spotland, with Walters adding the final goal of the evening in stoppage time.

"It was always going to be tricky, but after the Bojan strike it was a professional game and we killed it," Walters told BBC Sport.

"Before the game we knew what we needed to do. We did well in this competition a few years ago, but now we have Blackburn away and that's an interesting game. We are full of confidence and will take this into the league."

Stoke have now won five of their last seven games in all competitions.
