Stoke City FC v Arsenal FC Match Report, 19/08/2017

Jese Rodriguez scored the winner on a dream debut as Stoke City downed Arsenal with a controversial 1-0 victory at the bet365 Stadium.

The forward, loaned by Stoke from Paris Saint-Germain, struck early in the second half with an impressive finish as part of a lively performance.

Arsenal were aggrieved when Alexandre Lacazette had an equaliser ruled out for offside in a contentious decision.

And that moment proved decisive as the Gunners were unable to repeat their heroics from last week's opener against Leicester City to salvage a result.

The two teams now have three points from their first two matches.
