| GETTYJese scored the winner for Stoke on his debut |
After being played through by Saido Berahino on the right hand side of the Arsenal box Jese pinged the ball past Petr Cech and into the far corner on 47 minutes, making his debut count as Arsene Wenger's side fall to a damaging defeat at the bet365 Stadium
While Arsenal brought Aaron Ramsey and Shkodran Mustafi into the X1, Jese Rodriguez made his Stoke debut . Ramsey and Danny Welbeck both saw first-half opportunities saved by Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland.
Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross headed his side's best chance of the opening period over from close range. But Arsenal had a penalty appeal turned down when Hector Bellerin was felled by Mame Biram Diouf's challenge.
Jese gave Stoke the lead on his debut a minute into the second half by sweeping home a tidy first-time finish. Substitute Saido Berahino forced a good save from Petr Cech after meeting a cross from Erik Pieters.
Welbeck shot straight at Butland from close range after the England striker was played through on goal.
Alexandre Lacazette thought he’d equalised on 72 minutes but his effort was ruled out for offside. He had put the ball in the net with a stunning strike but he was adjudged to have strayed offside.
On Arsenal's first away trip of the Premier League campaign they failed to register any points in a performance that will leave Arsene Wenger disappointed with his side's lack of chances.
Should Arsenal have had a penalty for Mame Diouf's tackle on Hector Bellerin remains debatable.
Not even Olivier Giroud, who was used as a substitute once again, could come to Arsenal's rescue as his header in stoppage time drifted wide of the post.
