Villa loanee Scott Sinclair scored for the first time since he found the net as a Swansea player in August 2012.

However, his goal could not stop new Villa boss Tim Sherwood losing his first game in charge of the club.

Visiting Stoke are unbeaten from their last five trips to Villa Park in the Premier League.

Chelsea 1-1 Burnley

Up the other end, Ben Mee's header was just the second goal from a corner that Chelsea have conceded this season.

The Clarets have won just two of their last 32 Premier League away matches, losing 24.
