Match in a Minute: Arsenal 3-2 Swansea

Phil Thompson gives his review on Arsenal's 3-2 win over Swansea.

Soccer Saturday pundit Phil Thompson reviews Arsenal's 3-2 victory over Swansea at the Emirates Stadium.

It's a sixth straight victory for the Gunners in the Premier League but they were made to work hard for it by Bob Bradley's Swansea.

A brace from Theo Walcott and a goal from birthday boy Mesut Ozil proved enough in the end but Swansea twice pulled goals back through Gylfi Sigurdsson in the first half and Borja Baston in the second.

Arsenal had to withstand a late Swansea onslaught after Granit Xhaka was dismissed in the 70 minutes for a cynical challenge on Modou Barrow, but Arsene Wenger's side held on for all three points.

The win means Arsenal move up to second, level on points with Manchester City after they were held at home by Everton and Tottenham drew with West Brom.
