STOKE, England (AP) - A header from Kenwyne Jones and a fluke own goal gave Stoke a 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday to end a two-game losing streak at home.
Jones scored his sixth goal of the season with a perfectly placed header from inside the penalty area in the 23rd minute. The unlucky Phil Jagielka then scored his second own goal in his last two appearances when the ball bounced off his leg in the area and past goalkeeper Tim Howard in the 69th.
It was Everton's third own goal in three games.
Everton dominated for large spells of the game but struggled to create chances.
Australia midfielder Tim Cahill wasted the best opportunity by heading wide, in his last game for the club before departing to play in the Asian Cup.
