Peter Crouch broke the deadlock before Bojan and Jon Walters made it to three for Stoke before the half-time. While for Arsenal Santi Cazorla and Aaron Ramsey closed the gap but ended with nothing.

Former Liverpool striker Crouch took Stoke above in the 19th second of the game when midfielder Steven N'Zonzi crossed from the right side.

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud had the opportunity to equalize with a header but failed to make the most of the cross. The Frenchman's miss led Stoke to score another goal which was scored by former Barcelona striker who was one of the best performers today.

Jonathan Walters who set up for Bojan scored the third goal for the Stoke with a close range shot.

After the break, Wenger introduced Danny Welbeck to give the Gunners a boost in front of goals. Arsenal could have gone 4 – 0 down if the linesman had not given an offside against Mame Biram Diouf.

The visitors scored their first goal when Santi Cazorla netted from the spot which was earned by Mathieu Flamini.

Welshman Aaron Ramsey took Arsenal very close when he fired a shot into the corner of the goal. Arsenal continued to press to find a goal to earn a point away from home but they failed and returned home with empty hands.
