At the Hawthorns, Peter Crouch made the most of an error in defence to snatch a point for Stoke City in their visit to West Bromwich Albion, where it was Baggies summer signing Jay Rodriguez who nodded in the opener.

Sizzling Sadio Mane Sets Reds Alight
Liverpool's forward line ran riot at home to Arsenal on Sunday as a Gunners lineup affected by back-line injuries crumbled in its visit to Anfield.
Firmino headed in a surging Joe Gomez cross from the right before Mane cut in from the left flank and curled a mesmeric effort inside the far-right post. That classy finish pulled Mane level with Manchester United striker Lukaku on three goals this season, and Goal's Melissa Reddy praised the Reds star's fine start to the term:
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will have been pleased to see his counter-attacking preference in full effect for his side's third, however, and Arsenal's setup looked chaotic in comparison as they suffered a second loss in succession.
Salah sprang free of the Gunners defence to sink Liverpool's third—not to mention his second of the 2017-18 season—helping him earn man-of-the-match honours, per Sky Sports Statto:
Sturridge then benefitted from a Salah cross to the back post and headed in his first of the campaign, completing Arsenal's embarrassment as Klopp's men moved up to second.
The Reds have demonstrated some defensive inadequacies this term, but Liverpool's attack operated with ruthless edge on Sunday to give the Premier League a much-needed reminder of their strength.
Alvaro Morata Gathering Premier League Pace
Although some signs of growing pains are still evident at Stamford Bridge, another proficient display from summer signing Morata will have Chelsea beaming about their recent arrival's progress.
After scoring in the season-opening defeat to Burnley, the former Real Madrid forward added to Fabregas' outside-the-box finish to settle the Blues' tensions just before half-time.
It's not taking Morata long to write his name into the history books at Stamford Bridge, either, and OptaJoe pointed to the positive signs surrounding his first few games:
Not only that, but Morata appears to have shown a particular penchant for performing in front of his new home fans, providing a neat alternative to outcast striker Diego Costa.
A 2-0 win over Everton means manager Antonio Conte now has two victories from two and is looking to overcome a slow start, and Morata's improving form looks likely to help him do just that.
