PAST MEETINGS: Swans v Arsenal

 

The Swans came from behind with two late goals to claim a memorable win over Arsenal at the Liberty Stadium.

The Gunners took the lead when Alexis Sanchez finished from close range after an excellent run and pass from Danny Welbeck.

But a stunning Gylfi Sigurdsson free-kick and a fine header from substitute Bafetimbi Gomis sealed victory for Garry Monk's men.

The win saw Swansea leapfrog Arsenal into fifth place in the Premier League table as they continued their solid start to the campaign.

Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to two points as goals from Serge Gnabry and Aaron Ramsey saw them claim victory at the Liberty.

The Gunners maintain their early-season promise as teenager Gnabry slotted home the opener shortly after half-time and in-form Ramsey fired in to double the visitors' advantage.

Ben Davies volleyed home to give Swansea hope with eight minutes to play but Arsenal held on to claim all three points.

Second-half goals from Nacho Monreal and Gervinho secured a hard-fought win for Arsenal at the Liberty to boost their Champions League qualification hopes.

After a goalless first half, Monreal scored his first Arsenal goal when he struck a low shot through a crowded penalty area into the bottom corner.

Substitute Gervinho sealed the victory in stoppage time with a sharp finish, while Michu had Swansea's best chance as Michael Laudrup's side suffered only their third home defeat of the season.

The Swans secured a memorable victory over Arsenal following a pulsating clash at a raucous Liberty Stadium.

The Gunners took an early lead with a well-taken Robin van Persie goal, but the visitors were outplayed for long periods.

Scott Sinclair converted a penalty after Aaron Ramsey's foul to level the scores before Nathan Dyer clipped the Swans in front early in the second half.
