Stoke City 2-1 West Ham United

All five of Mame Biram Diouf league goals this season have been headers

West Ham must wait to see if they will secure European football next season as Mame Biram Diouf's late header earned Stoke victory at the Britannia Stadium.

Michail Antonio's turn and shot gave Slaven Bilic's side the lead as they totally dominated the first half.

Giannelli Imbula equalised with a 20-yard effort before substitute Diouf powered home a Charlie Adam corner.

West Ham finish seventh and, in order to qualify for the Europa League, need Manchester United to win the FA Cup.

Stoke finish ninth for the third successive season.

Southampton's victory over Crystal Palace ensured they leapfrogged the Hammers.

Hammers will rue missed chances

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic felt his team were the better side throughout

After the high emotion of Tuesday night's goodbye to Upton Park, West Ham did not appear to suffer any hangover as they created all the chances in the first half - yet still ended up losing.

Knowing a victory would secure at least a sixth-place finish, the visitors took the lead when Antonio held off the Stoke defence at a corner and fired past Shay Given.

The winger then shot over and Diafro Sakho found the side-netting with Stoke, winless in six games, offering no threat of their own.

Mark Hughes' men at least woke up after the break but Sakho should have made it 2-0 when he side-footed at Given after another fine run by the excellent Antonio.

Even after Stoke's equaliser, Given made a brilliant double save from Enner Valencia and Emmanuel Emenike, while Glenn Whelan just about cleared off the line from Cheikhou Kouyate.

The goal review system showed only a tiny fraction of the ball had not crossed the line. On such small margins can European qualification rest.

Stoke recover from slow start

Stoke only had seven shots (left) - including an effort from his own half by Charlie Adam - while West Ham had 20

Stoke ended last season with a 6-1 demolition of Liverpool at the Britannia Stadium, scoring five of them in the first half. Here, they managed only one shot in the opening 45 minutes.

It could only get better after the break and, although there was a significant improvement, they were still fortunate to equalise when record signing Imbula picked out the bottom right-hand corner after running across the box.

West Ham had 20 shots to Stoke's seven but the Potters dug in to keep the visitors out as chances mounted up at 1-1.

Substitute Charlie Adam almost repeated his feat of scoring from his own half, as he did against Chelsea in April 2015, but a backpeddling Darren Randolph juggled the ball over at the second attempt.

Diouf's 88th-minute header gave them an unexpected reward and a first win in seven league games.

Man of the match - Michail Antonio (West Ham)

He might have been on the losing side but Michail Antonio was the biggest threat on either team, creating two excellent chances and scoring the opener. The winger has been involved in 11 West Ham goals this season, scoring eight.

What the managers said

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic: "Basically, the most important thing today was to win no matter how and that we didn't do. We're disappointed to lose sixth place in the last game of the season. But it was still a great season for us. It makes us proud.

"I'd like to congratulate Stoke - they took their chances. But it is hard to take this defeat. For the whole game we played much better football. You have to take 50% of your chances. I said to my players at half-time if it was basketball we would be 20 points clear.

"Despite losing, I'm happy because we played really good football and were totally dominant in a difficult game."

Stoke boss Mark Hughes: "We lost a little bit of confidence, as we have done of late, because we've had a few defeats.

"We just needed to regroup at half-time. It could have been very easy to go long [at 1-0 down] and I think we would have been beaten once again. Credit to the lads: they were brave and played their stuff and, in the end, got their reward.

"We wanted at least a top-10 finish and we knew we would have to work hard to get that."
