Potters in right frame
result, particularly after their midweek 3-0 humiliation at Wigan.
The former Northern Ireland boss had told his players they should “hang their heads in shame”, and admitted: “After that midweek game, we hammered home the message to play with a greater intensity and to capitalise on set pieces. They responded and did a great job.”
He added: “Tyrese is a great finisher, but you have to get in goalscoring positions first and he did that. He was excellent.”
Barnsley boss Gerhard Struber said: “We came up against an opponent who were massive. I’m very disappointed. We didn’t have the right energy. We were not at the right level and paid the price.
“Stoke had a game plan and we were too late with our reactions.”
It was a nightmare throughout for Struber’s outfit, from the moment Vokes headed home from a perfect Sam Clucas corner after only eight minutes.
Two minutes later, a weak back-pass from defender Mads Andersen allowed Campbell the chance of nipping in to steer home.
Then came his second to wrap it up, with Ince getting in on the act late on.
Barnsley had their chances, Kilian Ludewig testing Jack Butland with a fierce effort, while skipper Alex Mowatt did likewise with a free-kick.
