Ten-man Stoke suffered FA Cup embarrassment at Ewood Park as they were torn apart 4-1 by a second-string Blackburn side with Josh King, one of those fringe players, scoring a hat-trick.The 23-year-old, on only his 14th appearance this season and with just one league goal to his name, terrorised a Potters defence which was severely hampered by the sending off of Geoff Cameron just before half-time.
Former Rovers boss Mark Hughes, a three-time FA Cup winner with Manchester United, could only watch as the ex-Red Devils youth team player sent his side crashing out of the competition and Rovers into the quarter-finals for the second time in three years.King’s poacher’s finish equalised Peter Crouch’s early goal before he won the penalty from which Rudy Gestede scored his 14th of the campaign when he was pulled back by Cameron.

Blackburn Rovers 4-1 Stoke City - All Goals & Highlights HD 14/02/2015 by Youpedia
The 23-year-old Norway international had caused the visitors problems with his blistering pace before the break but he enjoyed the extra space available against 10 men for 45 minutes and twice raced clear to score with virtually identical goals just 10 minutes into the second half.
Despite beating another top-flight side Swansea at home in the last round, the priority for Rovers is to close the 10-point gap to the Sky Bet Championship promotion places so, with that in mind, manager Gary Bowyer made eight changes from the midweek win over Rotherham.
When Crouch, on target for the third successive match, smashed home a 10th-minute Victor Moses corner it appeared the script was being followed.
Marko Arnautovic and Mame Biram Diouf had chances to put the game bed inside half-an-hour but let Rovers off the hook and King, at the heart of every real threat, took full advantage.
Having created a good chance for Gestede after stripping Philipp Wollscheid for speed, only for his team-mate to fluff his shot, King was fouled by Cameron in the eight minutes of stoppage time for three lengthy injury breaks.
The Stoke defender was shown a straight red card by referee Anthony Taylor and Gestede did not make a mistake with his second chance from the spot.
Rovers ensured there would be no turnaround of momentum in the second half as King — had scored five goals in his previous 68 appearances — twice raced through to slot the ball past Butland in carbon-copy goals within five minutes of each other.
Stoke were deflated and dejected and home fans took great delight in taunting their former manager.
