STOKE, England (AP) Stoke moved up to seventh in the Premier League on Wednesday after a 3-1 win over Norwich, which had to play for an hour with 10 men.

Gary O'Neil hacked down Stoke's Ibrahim Affellay for a straight red card after 31 minutes.

Jon Walters struck four minutes into the second half when he slid in at the far post to slot Marko Arnautovic's cross into the net.

Norwich was level six minutes later when Jonny Howson fired a fierce shot into the roof of the net.

The hosts retook the lead after 67 minutes through Joselu who hit a low shot through the legs of defender Ryan Bennett.

Mark Hughes' side got their third after 78 when Bennett turned Afellay's free-kick into his own goal.
