Ricardo Fuller and Seyi Olofinjana both scored after long throw-ins by Rory Delap as Arsenal capitulated and also had Robin van Persie sent off.
Delap sent a throw to the far post and Fuller glanced in for the opener.
Delap, himself, then looped in a header that Gael Clichy cleared off the line before Olofinjana chested in Stoke’s second from another Delap throw-in.
Van Persie saw red for shoving Thomas Sorensen before Clichy pulled a goal back with a deflected shot.
The defeat is another serious blow to Arsenal’s title aspirations, while Stoke will be delighted with three points that take them a little further away from the drop zone.
