Arsenal 0 Swansea 1
Their best chance fell to Alexis Sanchez in 78.
He’s good enough to bury that ball inside the near post.
But Sanchez hit Lukas Fabianksi, who saved, and the Pole then saved a second shot from the rebound.
Seven minutes later, Montero crossed for sub Gomis to head the winner.
Again.
Koscielny was ball-watching.
Asked about the Europa Cup, manager Garry Monk craftily refused to use the word “Europa” even once.
He’s very good at the underdog schtick. His whole team is modest.
Maybe Monk does want to play 14 extra games on a Thursday night.
After watching him, and listening to what he said, I’m none the wiser.
All we can say is: Monk’s Swansea have completed a league double over Arsenal for the first time in 33 years.
And Swansea also beat Man United home and away as well.
That’s 12 lovely points.
Who was it that said, “We have nothing to fear except fear itself”?
