GIF: Stoke-alona open scoring after phenomenal passing sequence

It looks like Bojan Krkic has brought some of Barcelona's passing game to Stoke City.

The 30th minute of Thursday's preseason friendly between Stoke and Real Betis saw the Potters string together some Barcelona-esque passes in the final third of the pitch before Erik Pieters slid into the six-yard box to put his side up 1-0.

This isn't exactly the type of goal you'd expect to see from Stoke, who are constantly criticized for playing anti-football with their pragmatic style.

Krkic later scored his third goal in as many matches to give Mark Hughes' side a 2-0 win.
