An own-goal from Heurelho Gomes got Stoke back to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Watford.
The Hornets 'keeper put through his own net after a header from Charlie Adam came back off the post and cannoned off his legs.
It was a scrappy goal to settle a scrappy game but Stoke were deserved winners as they bounced back from last week's defeat by Bournemouth.
Perhaps the early kick-off had caught Watford napping, but Stoke showed more purpose from the first whistle and Gomes was straight into the action, saving from Bruno Martins Indi and puching Xherdan Shaqiri's follow-up clear.
Stoke's club record signing Giannelli Imbula, eager to impress after being recalled for the first time since September, then drove forward from midfield and fired a 20-yard effort narrowly wide.
Watford did manage a couple of long-range efforts from Daryl Janmaat and Etienne Capoue, but Stoke keeper Lee Grant dealt with them comfortably.
And, in the end, Mark Hughes' patched-up side were still too much for lethargic Watford, who finished with 10 men after a late red card for Miguel Britos as they slipped to a first home defeat since August.
