Stoke City were defeated by Sheffield United 2-1 at Bramall Lane on Tuesday.
Kurt Zouma, who joined the club on loan from Chelsea last week, played 45 minutes in his debut for the Potters.
City star Xherdan Shaqiri brought the scores level after Billy Sharp's opener.
However, the Championship club snatched victory late on when Everton target David Brooks capitalised from close range.
