Tottenham goes 3rd in the Premier League with Watford win
Brendan Galloway shot just wide and Seamus Coleman might have had a penalty when he went down under a Pieters tackle as the home side pushed forward, but Stoke were back ahead thanks to a stunning goal just before the interval.

Everton take on Stoke City at Goodison Park in the Premier League, with both sides harbouring chances of European football next campaign. And nobody is thriving more in his current role than Marko Arnautovic, who scored a brilliant goal to put the game beyond Man Utd, while not many players in the Premier League are better than him in making intelligent runs in behind defenses.
But Stoke’s celebrations, amid a deathly hush from the home support, were sadly all too short.
Manchester United plays Chelsea, Arsenal hosts Bournemouth and West Ham faces Southampton later Monday.
The attacking trio of Marko Arnautovic, Bojan Krkic and Shaqiri were in fine form when Stoke beat Manchester City earlier this month, but, despite their attacking talent, Stoke are one of the division’s lowest scorers, finding the net on only 16 occasions this season.
Everton have suffered a fourth home league defeat of the season after a pulsating seven-goal thriller at Goodison Park.
Roberto Martinez will be hoping Everton’s dramatic win at Newcastle on Boxing Day will lead to an upturn in fortunes, beginning with their fixture against Stoke.
“A 3-3 would have been tough to take, but losing the game after an error from the referee is even more painful”.
Cleverley invoked his inner Bojan but guiding a searching long ball into the path of the on-rushing Lukaku, who controlled the inch ideal ball on his chest before slotting home.
The Potters did the double over Everton last season without conceding a goal.
The half appeared to be meandering towards a routine conclusion when Shaqiri dramatically stamped his class on proceedings for a second time.
Stoke should have midfielders Goeff Cameron and Glenn Whelan available despite both suffering slight knocks on Boxing Day.
Midfielder Stephen Ireland, striker Peter Crouch and defender Marc Muniesa are all out with hamstring problems.
Martinez, on the other hand, is likely to use the depth of his squad.
Gerard Deulofeu, who was a second half substitute at Newcastle, will be restored after being given a breather.
