This two goals were sufficient to keep the Arsenal side leading throughout the first 45.

The Swansea side had themselves some hope when Gylfi Sigurdsson had nice opportunity and took it nicely at the 38th minute and this hope was the fuel for their second half initial energy which had Arsenal struggle to keep the lead.

Mesut Ozil had no choice but to reduce their pressure in the 57th minute, with a nice volley sends Sanchez cross to the top corner of the net to put them back on two goal lead, though relieved of it seven minutes latter when supper sub Gonzalez Borja Boston sent Modou Barrow’s cross into the Arsenal goal.
