Crystal Palace 2-1 Stoke City
Crystal Palace secured a dramatic and vital victory in their battle against relegation when Mamadou Sakho's stoppage-time goal earned them a 2-1 win over Stoke.
Visiting captain Ryan Shawcross had sent team-mate Xherdan Shaqiri's goal-bound cross wide from in front of goal shortly before Sakho tapped in to seal their comeback from a goal down following Ruben Loftus-Cheek's earlier finish.
It had been the impressive Shaqiri who had given 15th-placed Stoke the lead.
While Mark Hughes' team were unchanged from Monday's 2-2 draw at Brighton, Palace manager Roy Hodgson replaced goalkeeper Julian Speroni and central defender Scott Dann with Wayne Hennessey and James Tomkins.
