A late own goal by Ljubo Milicevic under pressure from Ryan Shotton last night rewarded Stoke City for a disciplined performance in a vociferous atmosphere at Hajduk Split.
A 1-0 victory took Tony Pulis's side through to the final qualifying round of the Europa League 2-0 on aggregate. Milicevic put in Dean Whitehead's cross when challenged by Shotton after Stoke had restricted the Croatian side to few clear-cut chances.
Andy Johnson and Danny Murphy scored as Fulham also made progress, beating Hajduk's neighbours RNK 2-0 at Craven Cottage after a goalless draw in Split.
