Glen Johnson has urged Stoke to build on their 1-0 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday.

Marko Arnautovic's strike clinched the three points for the Potters at Villa Park and gave Mark Hughes' side a third straight success.

Stoke had failed to win any of their opening seven games but have now beaten Fulham in the Capital One Cup and secured victories against Bournemouth and Villa in the Premier League.

Johnson set up Arnautovic for his second-half strike and believes Stoke must continue their improvement.

"We've played well in the last few games and probably not picked up as many points as we should have done," the right-back told Stoke Player.

"We go into every game searching for the win, we got that and it is now something to build on when we come back from the international break.

"We had to dig deep late on, but that was always going to happen when they're fighting for the game and throwing everybody forward.

"The lads were brilliant. We all put in a shift and at times played some very nice football."
