Stoke stun Man City as ex-United striker bags brilliant goal

Diouf ran from inside his own half and, as the City defence backed off, burst into the area before embarrassing goalkeeper Joe Hart by shooting through his legs.

The goal came in the 58th minute, and for all their subsequent pressure, Manuel Pellegrini's home side could not find an equaliser, allowing Stoke manager Mark Hughes to celebrate a memorable win over his former employers.

City's neighbours United also drew a blank as Louis van Gaal's winless start to his reign continued with a goalless draw against new boys Burnley at Turf Moor.

Record signing Angel di Maria made his United debut but could not inspire an improved performance from the struggling side, who have now taken just two points from their opening three games.

Swansea, in contrast, maintained their 100 per cent record as a flying start set them on their way to a 3-0 victory at home to West Brom.

Nathan Dyer, whose goal beat Burnley last weekend, put Garry Monk's side in front after only two minutes before a wonderfully acrobatic strike from the edge of the area from Wayne Routledge made it two midway through the first half.

Dyer rounded off the win with his second in the 71st minute, finishing from Gylfi Sigurdsson's pass.

Neil Warnock's return to the manager's post at Crystal Palace got off to the ideal start against Newcastle and finished with a bang too as his side claimed a thrilling 3-3 draw.

Dwight Gayle opened the scoring inside the first minute for Palace at St James' Park, but Darryl Janmaat fired the Magpies level before the break.

Although Jason Puncheon, fined by the Football Association in March for launching a Twitter tirade against Warnock, restored the Eagles' lead three minutes after the restart, Rolando Aarons made it 2-2 and Mike Williamson bundled home a third for the hosts with two minutes to go.

But Wilfried Zaha, on loan from Manchester United, equalised five minutes into stoppage time to earn Palace a first point of the season.

Wantaway midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin scored twice as Southampton came from behind to win 3-1 at West Ham and hand boss Ronald Koeman his first league win.

Mark Noble put the hosts in front, but Schneiderlin, who is keen on a move to Tottenham, levelled on the stroke of half-time and completed the comeback in the 68th minute.

Graziano Pelle made the points safe seven minutes from time.

QPR picked up their first points of the campaign, Charlie Austin's goal on the stroke of half-time sealing a 1-0 win at home to Sunderland.
