Frank Lampard's goal took his Premier League tally to 171, which leaves him joint fourth in the standings with Wayne Rooney.

However, his goal came after Asmir Begovic had saved his penalty, meaning that Lampard has failed to convert three of his last five Premier League spot kicks.

The defeat was the first that Stoke had suffered since February 22.
