Mesut Ozil turned the match around four minutes into the second half when he looped a header over Stoke keeper Lee Grant from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's chipped pass.

A late equaliser from substitute Fraizer Campbell earned Crystal Palace a dramatic 3-3 draw at Hull.

The Eagles drew level on 53 minutes when Christian Benteke converted a penalty after referee Mike Jones ruled Wilfried Zaha had been tripped by Snodgrass.

Zaha put Palace ahead with a fine individual effort after 70 minutes, but Hull equalised within two minutes when Adama Diomande slotted home.

Sebastian Prodl nodded the Hornets into the lead just before the hour and Okaka added a third with a near-post header from a 64th-minute corner.

Lukaku reduced the deficit with four minutes left, but Watford closed out the match to take all three points.
