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.
