Swansea bounce back to leapfrog Arsenal

Swansea players celebrate after Swansea City's Icelandic midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson (3L) scored an equalising goal against Arsenal in Swansea, south Wales on November 9, 2014
Swansea (United Kingdom) (AFP) - Second-half goals from Gylfi Sigurdsson and Bafetimbi Gomis saw Swansea beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday to leapfrog the Gunners into fifth place in the Premier League table and complete a miserable week for Arsene Wenger.
Alexis Sanchez's 12th goal of the season gave Arsenal the lead in the 63rd minute in south Wales.
However, two goals in three minutes, in the final quarter, left Wenger's side with nothing to show for their troubles.
Having given up a three-goal lead in their midweek 3-3 Champions League draw at home to Anderlecht, the north London club's defensive lapses again proved costly and this time there wasn't even the consolation of a point.
