Jese Rodriguez marks Stoke debut with winner against Arsenal

Jese Rodriguez scored on his debut as Stoke beat Arsenal 1-0 at the bet365 Stadium to claim their first Premier League points of the season.

Arsenal had the better of the chances in the first half, but Jack Butland was on hand to deny them -- first thwarting Danny Welbeck from close range, before keeping out Aaron Ramsey's effort at the back post following an Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain free kick.

But it was Stoke that took the lead two minutes into the second half, with Paris Saint-Germain loanee Jese netting on his debut, slotting past Petr Cech after being played in by Saido Berahino.
