Swansea Citys comeback not only saw Garry Monks men take all three points against Arsenal, but also have the last laugh. Following their capitulation against Anderlecht last week, in which Arsene Wengers side squandered a three-goal lead at home, Arsenal were out to earn a much needed pick-me-up when they travelled to Swansea at the weekend. Swansea City v Arsenal: Player Ratings Alexis Sanchez goal after 63 minutes looked to be steering Wengers men towards a much-welcomed three points, only for a Gylfi Sigurdsson and Bafetimbi Gomis to turn the game on its head in a devastating three-minutes of magic from Garry Monks side. MATCH REPORT: SWANSEA 2 ARSENAL 1 The result was certainly not what Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez had predicted. On the eve of the match, the Chile international tweeted that the 3 points are coming to London, with a photo of Arsenal stars Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alan Ramsey and goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. Going to sleep! Tomorrow those 3 points are coming to London!!! #GUNNERS pic.twitter/qmX2hnbhQw — Alexis Sánchez (@Alexis_Sanchez) November 8, 2014 Innocent, almost certainly, but as the saying goes if you play with feathers, youll get tickled and the Swans were more than happy to show their plumage. Seems like 3 points stay in Swansea. Great team performance again #SWANS — Angel Rangel (@arangelz) November 9, 2014 Ermmmmmm... “@Alexis_Sanchez: Going to sleep!

Incredibly proud of the team today. A real squad effort. Jack army did the team proud as well. Enjoy your night. #swans — Garry Monk (@GarryMonk16) November 9, 2014 i Comment on this article!
