Tyrese Campbell scored a first-half double to earn Stoke City a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at Harrison Park in Premier League 2 Division 2.
In the 17th minute, Stoke were awarded a penalty after Campbell was fouled and the striker opened the scoring.
The Potters doubled their lead nine minutes later, as Campbell reacted to head in from after Viljami Sinisalo had initially denied Stephen Ward.
Stoke's second win in a row keeps them third in Division 2 on 10 points, while Villa are down to ninth on five points.
