The match was delayed by an hour due to a power outage, but when we did finally get up and running under the lights, Mark Noble - on his 300th Premier League appearance - stroked West Ham into a 19th-minute lead from the spot after referee Graham Scott adjudged Erik Pieters to have felled Manuel Lanzini in the box. Stoke were incredulous, believing Lanzini to have gone down too easily.
The returning Arnautovic, who was a real threat all afternoon, having mustered six shots at goal in the match, finally made one of his chances count in the 75th minute, after combining superbly with Lanzini, before substitute Diafra Sakho slid in a late third to make sure of the three points.
