Crystal Palace finally snapped their three-game winless streak last Saturday with a 2-1 win over newly-promoted side Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium, Daily Mail Online reported.
Newly-acquired striker Christian Benteke netted the opening goal at the 16th minute for head coach Alan Pardew's side before Boro defender Daniel Ayala managed to equalize the count at the 38th to reach the halftime break tied at 1-1.
However, the visitors found what proved to be the winning goal two minutes after the restart with a fine move from winger Wilfried Zaha that beat defender George Friend and goalkeeper Victor Valdes.
The win lifted the Eagles to the 10th spot of the league table after being in the bottom quarter of the standings in the first weeks of the competitions.
Meanwhile, Stoke City is currently at the cellar of the 20-team English top flight table as they had been winless in their first four games this season.
After pulling off a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough in their season-opener, the Potters lost three straight games, falling to Manchester City, 1-4, and Everton, 0-1, in their next two games.
Last Saturday, the team was demolished by contending squad Tottenham Hotspur, 0-4, at their own Bet365 Stadium for their third consecutive defeat, as per ESPN.
Head coach Mark Hughes' squad was not able to respond to any of the Spurs' goals throughout the match as they were completely outplayed by Tottenham on both ends of the pitch.
South Korean midfielder Son Heung-min netted a brace at the 41st and 56th while Dele Alli and Harry Kane scored one goal apiece at the 59th and 70th to complete the visitors four-goal haul.
