John Obi Mikel skippered Stoke City to their first home victory in the Championship season with a 3-2 win over Brentford on Saturday.
The former Super Eagles captain was handed the captain’s armband for the second straight match and produced a solid display in Staffordshire.
Mikel has played every minute of Stoke City’s Championship games this season, and did the same as Steven Fletcher, James McClean and Tyrese Campbell secured maximum points for the hosts.
