Posted by With a 3-2 win over Brentford on Saturday, John Obi Mikel captained Stoke City to their first Championship victory at home this season.
In the absence of Ryan Shawcross and Joe Allen, who are fighting with injuries, the 33-year-old midfielder was given the captain’s armband for the second straight match-after their 2-2 draw against Barnsley.
As goals from Steven Fletcher, James McClean and Tyrese Campbell won maximum points for the hosts at bet365 Stadium, Mikel, who played every minute of Stoke City Championship games this season, played from start to finish.
