West Ham United were forced to settle for a point after Bojan Krkic netted a late volley for Stoke to cancel out an earlier own goal from Glenn Whelan as the the teams drew 1-1 at London Stadium.
After beating Sunderland and Chelsea in the previous two home games, the Hammers were on course to make it three in a row after Whelan headed the ball his own keeper.
But Bojan capitalised on a mistake by Adrian when he volleyed home from close-range to ensure Stoke came away with a point.
Slaven Bilic would have been hoping to head into the international break with another victory and will be disappointed that his side failed to hold onto the lead.
The Hammers were hoping to amends for the disappointing 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park last weekend as they looked to build on recent home victories.
But it was Stoke who came the closest to breaking the deadlock in the opening exchanges.
Jonathan Walters broke clear of the West Ham defence on 13 minutes and burst into the box before seeing his low cross well blocked by Cheikhou Kouyate who denied Wilfried Bony getting on the scoresheet.
The away side came close again on 18 minutes when Bony saw his shot blocked by James Collins. The rebound fell to Joe Allen who fired a right foot shot just over the bar.
The Hammers finally found a route back into the game and created their first major opening on 24 minutes when Dimitri Payet laid the ball back to Manuel Lanzini and he struck a 25-yard shot over the bar.
Payet was involved in the heart of the action once again on 27 minutes when his corner picked out Angelo Ogbonna who towered above the Stoke defence and saw his powerful header produce a fine save from Lee Grant diving away to his right.
There was some confusion over how much injury time was to be played at the end of the first half after the fourth official signalled one minute but referee Andre Marriner actually wanted three.
The decision almost paid off for the home side as the Hammers were awarded a free-kick right on the edge of the box.
The home fans drew their breathe as Payet put the ball down, but on this occasion the French star saw his curling effort fall inches over the bar.
The danger signs were still there for the Hammers as Phil Bardsley tried his luck from 30-yards on 55 minutes with a dipping shot which flew just over the goal.
Bilic knew he needed to do something to try and make the crucial breakthrough and introduced Emilson Fernandes and Ashley Fletcher into the action on 62 minutes.
The Hammers manager changed the system around with Antonio playing through the middle and the move paid off straight away.
Payet's cross on 64 minutes was directed for Antonio but Whelan headed the ball past his own keeper and into the corner of the net.
But the Hammers failed to hold onto their lead and Stoke grabbed an equaliser out of nothing on 75 minutes as Adrian raced out of goal but failed to get to the ball.
Walters crossed the ball in for substitute Bojan who did well to volley the ball past three defenders into the back of the net.
Adrian was determined to make up for his mistake and kept the Hammers in the game on 88 minutes when he made a fine save diving low to his left to keep out a free-kick from Charlie Adam.
The Hammers were forced to settle for a point as they head into the international break, but will be hoping for a better outcome when they face Tottenham in the big London derby at White Hart Lane on 19 November.
