League position: 14th This was only Crystal Palace's second win in the Premier League in 2016 (lost 11). Dwight Gayle was now the Eagles' leading scorer in all competitions in this season with seven goals. Bakary Sako replaced Dwight Gayle in the second minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

League position: 10th Stoke City were now without a win in their last six Premier League games (lost four); their worst run since September 2015. The Potters had now kept only one clean sheet in their last 15 Premier League games. Charlie Adam scored his first goal of the season, his previous goal came on the last day of the previous season against Liverpool.
