Stoke City’s new loan signing Jese Rodriguez made an immediate impact by scoring the only goal as his side stunned Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal 1-0 on Saturday. From another Arsenal attack, Stoke carved out their best chance of the first half as Joe Allen broke up play and Jese made an exhilarating run from one area to the other. It was a disruption Stoke could ill afford as Arsenal again threatened, just before the half-hour, this time from a set-piece. Stoke’s goal drew a response from Arsenal, with Oxlade-Chamberlain’s cross drawing an unsuccessful handball appeal against Kurt Zouma. Butland made another fine save, stopping Welbeck as he again headed for goal, before the anonymous Ozil shot just wide.
