Stoke City 1-0 Arsenal Highlights

Arsenal fell four points behind leaders Chelsea in the race for the Premier League title after Jonathan Walters’s penalty earned Stoke City victory.

Walters held his nerve after Laurent Koscielny was adjudged to have handled inside his area by referee Mike Jones.

Arsenal were poor, with substitute Yaya Sanogo wasting a great chance to equalise deep in stoppage time.

Charlie Adam was fortunate not to be sent off for treading on Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud before Walters’s goal.
