XPath - get a button inside another element with class
up vote

I need to find a button element using XPath. The problem is, the button has no unique identifier like Id or name, but is located inside another element which has a unique class (i.e. a class that no other element on page uses). I know how to get to that element and identify it by class but I don't know how to access the button inside that element.
.//mat-header-cell[@class='mat-header-cell cdk-column-delete mat-column-delete ng-star-inserted']
Any suggestions?
