Joe allen Stoke City
Stoke City moved off the bottom of the Premier League table with their win over Sunderland

Mark Hughes’ Stoke City finally managed to win their first league game of the season. Joe Allen starred in the 2-0 win over bottom of the table Sunderland, who now remain the only team in the league without a win. The ‘Welsh Pirlo’ grabbed both goals on the day to continue his stunning form in recent weeks and now has four goals in his last three outings.

West Ham moved out of the relegation zone with only their second victory of the campaign. Manuel Lanzini scored the only goal of the game as the Hammers scrapped past Crystal Palace. Alan Pardew will rue his side’s missed opportunities with Christian Benteke also being guilty of missing a penalty.
