Stoke City 1-0 West Brom - Nick Powell winner ends table-topping Baggies' unbeaten run
Nick Powell has now scored six goals in eight games this season - the last four in successive matches
Jacob Brown hit the post in the first half, then Mario Vrancic hit the bar in the second, before Sam Johnstone twice made great saves in quick succession from Sam Surridge, the second of them from the penalty spot after the Albion keeper had brought down the striker. Stoke climb to third on the back of their best performance of the season in front of their biggest crowd of the season, 22,703, although that was swelled by the noisy 2,886 travelling Albion fans who made such an occasion of it.
And, although Albion's Callum Robinson had a powerful left-foot volley straight at home keeper Adam Davies, he was also involved in an incident at the other end. From Powell's low second-half cross, the Albion keeper then denied Surridge from close range - before there came an even better chance.
