Start Half

Stoke City succumbed to only their second loss at the Britannia this season against a spirited West Ham outfit. Two early injuries for Sam Allardyce's men and an onslaught of early Stoke pressure lifted the home support in the first half, only for confusion at the back to provide James Collison with a crucial goal for the Hammers on the stroke of half time. West Ham continued to mount the pressure after the interval, with Vaz Te proving a nuisance for the Stoke defence all game. Referee Jon Moss dismissed two penalty appeals from Stoke in the second half, including claims for a hand ball late at the death, which will be sure to cause disputes post-match. A crucial win for West Ham, but much for Tony Pulis's side to ponder.
Referee Moss signals the end of the game, much to the delight of the travelling West Ham fans.
