Stoke City extended their unbeaten home run to five matches with a comfortable 2-0 victory over already-relegated Sheffield Wednesday. Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Lamine Cisse scored either side of halftime to secure Stoke's first league double over Wednesday since 1970.

Mid-table Stoke dominated throughout, with Sorba Thomas providing the assist for Rak-Sakyi's opener. Wednesday, backed by over 3,200 travelling supporters, struggled to create chances despite being well-organized defensively. The match featured a poignant moment in the eighth minute when all four stands rose to applaud young Stoke fan Oliver Royles, who tragically passed away at age eight after battling cancer.

The win keeps Stoke comfortably mid-table as they approach the season's final stretch, while Wednesday's defeat marks their 30th Championship loss of the campaign. Stoke goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu made crucial saves to maintain the clean sheet, while Wednesday's Pierce Charles kept the scoreline respectable with several fine stops. The result underscores Stoke's growing momentum at the bet365 Stadium as they build toward next season.
