Premier League – Swansea complete rousing win over Arsenal

Arsenal conceded two goals in three manic minutes as Swansea came from
behind to complete a rousing 2-1 win at the Liberty Stadium.
Garry Monk's side moved above Arsenal into fifth place in the Premier
League table courtesy of a delightful free-kick from Gylfi Sigurdsson
on 75 minutes and an expert header from Bafetimbi Gomis on 78 minutes
only seconds after he had replaced Wilfried Bony.
Arsenal moved ahead courtesy of the almost obligatory goal from Alexis
Sanchez on 63 minutes when he swept home a Danny Welbeck cross on the
counter attack, but they again flattered to deceive.
Having blown a 3-0 lead in drawing 3-3 with Anderlecht in the
Champions League in midweek, questions will again rightly be asked
about the defensive shortcomings that continue to blight Arsene
Wenger's side.
Swansea won't care much. They have made their best start to a Premier
League season having amassed 18 points from 11 games with Arsenal one
point worse off in sixth spot.
