Soccer-Diouf strikes late to lift Stoke

Stoke City 2 West Ham United 1 May 15 (Reuters) - Mame Biram Diouf's late goal lifted Stoke City to a 2-1 victory over West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday. Michail Antonio put West Ham ahead in the 23rd minute with a right-foot shot after Winston Reid headed on a corner. Giannelli Imbula equalised with a low strike from outside the penalty area and Diouf struck two minutes from time with a fine header to lift Stoke to ninth in the standings. Defeat ended West Ham's hopes of a top-six finish. (Reporting by Ed Osmond; Editing by Toby Davis)
