Stoke's on-loan Manchester City forward scored his third goal on only his fourth appearance, with Tyrique George blasting home in stoppage time as the defending champions made it four wins from four having yet to concede.

With Storm Claudia ensuring the match was played in a torrential downpour at St Andrew's, Lee Carsley's side refused to be blown off course as they closed the gap to Group D leaders Slovakia to one point with a match in hand.
