Jonathan Walters scored his first Stoke goal of the season as the Potters got the better off Burnley at the Bet365 stadium.
The Irish striker gave the home side the lead with an exquisite volley after a neat one-two between Mame Biram Diouf and Xherdan Shaqiri. Marc Muniesa gave Mark Hughes’ men breathing space, but it was defeat for Stephen Ward and Jeff Hendrick.

Harry Kane celebrated his new £100,000-a-week contract by netting twice as Tottenham Hotspur steamrolled Swansea 5-0 at White Hart Lane.
The England striker gave Spurs the lead from the spot in the 39th minute, before Son Heung-min doubled the home side’s advantage on the stroke of half-time.
Kane doubled his tally with a goal just after the break before Christian Eriksen got a brace of his own to give Mauricio Pochettino’s team their first Premier League win since they beat Manchester City in October.

West Brom jumped up to the lofty heights of the top six of the Premier League with a 3-1 win over Watford.
Northern Ireland internationals Jonny Evans and Chris Brunt helped give the hosts a 2-0 lead before Christian Kabasele pulled a goal back for the visitors.
In some unsavoury scenes, Roberto Pereyra was shown a red card when he reacted angrily to a tackle from Ireland international James McClean, which ended in mass brawl between both sets of players.
West Brom then capitalised on their one man advantage and Matt Phillips sealed all three points in stoppage-time.
