Leicester boss Nigel Pearson says he can't criticise his players after that performance. "I'm very pleased with how we applied ourselves," he says.
"We mustn't get too downbeat," he says.
West Ham fans sing "We're going to win the league" as the full-time whistle goes. The Baggies fans? Well, those that are left just boo.
One last chance for West Brom as, with 20 seconds remaining, Craig Dawson volleys over.
Reaction from Stoke City manager Mark Hughes: "We're left shaking our head again as this is another game and another stadium we've come to where we've given a great account of ourselves.
"We're really disappointed not to take anything from the game.
"We're a hair's breadth from getting an equaliser and that's how it's going for us at the moment."
Three points are heading back up the M6.
Some pretty desperate defending from West Ham now, with Baggies goalkeeper Ben Foster going forward for everything. The home supporters pour through the exits. They've seen enough.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers calls it 'a great victory' and says his side had to compete hard.
"I've got big trust in the players," he says. "Steven Gerrard was outstanding and has been a world class talent since a young age."
Full reaction to follow.
Swansea's first goalscorer Ki Sung-yueng: "That was a massive three points. We played brilliantly against Crystal Palace in our last game and this was the same.
"In the first half we couldn't score and in the second half we had to be patient and then we had some more chances."
Marvin Cordina:, external De Gea is definitely better than Courtois. The former has saved United plenty of times whereas the latter has never done so.
Simon Witt:, external You can say Man Utd haven't played anywhere near their potential this season but they're picking up points and are in the top 4.
The final black hair on Alan Irvine's head has gone grey tonight. Four minutes of time added on.

"Stoke will be disappointed and will feel they should have grabbed that late equaliser.
"That means they'll be points on the DVD for Van Gaal to look at where United can still improve."
How much can a pitch grow during 90 minutes of play? Leicester aren't taking any chances as three men and a little mower take to the field.
The Foxes remain bottom on just 10 points, with Hull tonight's biggest losers, slipping into the bottom three without playing.
Can Palace find a leveller? It doesn't appear so as Wilfried Zaha's cross into the box evades everyone and runs to safety. Four minutes of time added on...
Rick in Cheadle: United have been very lucky at home this season. Very lucky.

"We know the abilities that Chris Smalling has got, he's getting the chances to show them now under Louis van Gaal.
"Rojo was also very solid tonight. The two who played full-back - Valencia and Young - got forward as much as they could.
"United weren't at their best tonight, but they did enough to nick the three points."
West Brom should be level. West Ham should buy goalkeeper Adrian a drink.
The Baggies think they've levelled when Victor Anichebe fashions room in the box but his close-range shot is saved by Adrian's instinctive right foot. Moments later, Graham Dorrans blazes wide. Late fight.
It's all over in League One with MK Dons continuing their surge up the table with a fourth win in five games taking them up to third place - two points behind leaders Bristol City with a game in hand.
Dele Alli's late goal means Sheffield United have picked up just two points from three home games.
The South Yorkshire derby at Oakwell ends 1-1 between Barnsley and Doncaster, who remain locked together on 23 points.
"We've shown great resilience and character", that's the reaction of Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard. He also insists that he should have had a penalty for that challenge with Kasper Schmeichel.
There is nothing to say on the contract issue, he says.
Thomas Norton:, external That was unbelievable from De Gea! Saved United the points. Definitely second best keeper in the world right now behind Neuer.
Something to cheer about for the West Brom fans, as £10m striker Brown Ideye steps off the bench. Around five minutes left now.
