Debutant Jese was Stoke's hero as he fired a second-half winner against Arsenal.

The Spaniard only arrived in the country earlier this week before sealing his loan move but was a constant threat for Mark Hughes' men.

He raced onto a Saido Berahino pass to slot past Petr Cech and it proved to be the key moment as Stoke held on to claim a big win.

Arsenal tried to get back into it and Alexandre Lacazette even had a goal ruled out.

But Jese was the hero and caught our man David Anderson's eye.

Here are his complete player ratings.
