Epl review: Arsenal 2 vs Swansea 1, here is how the gunners fared...
The London side earned a 2-1 comeback win over Swansea City at the Emirates Stadium, behind second-half goals by Sead Kolasinac and Aaron Ramsey.
The win for the Gunners moves the Londoners into fourth place on 19 points, while Swansea drops to 17th.
Arsenal looked a different team after halftime, with the hosts scoring twice in a span of seven minutes to take the lead.
Aaron Ramsey gave the Gunners a 2-1 lead just prior to the hour mark when Sead Kolasinac found the Welshman for his 50th career Arsenal goal.
The Gunners had found themselves on level terms in the 51st minute, after Kolasinac blasted home a loose ball inside the Swansea area.
The Swans were on the back foot for much of the opening stanza, but Sam Clucas gave the visitors the lead on 22 minutes after Tammy Abraham played the midfielder in on net for his first goal of the 2017/18 season.
Alexis Sanchez nearly found an equalizer four minutes from halftime when the Chilean hit a stinging blast from the left side of the box that was saved brilliantly by goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.
Next up for the Gunners will be Red Star Belgrade on Thursday in the UEFA Europa League, before Wenger's men travel to the Etihad Stadium on Nov. 5 to take on PL leaders Manchester City.
Arsenal player ratings (0-10):
Cech: 5 -- A bit slow off his line on Clucas' goal, but otherwise solid.
Koscielny: 5 -- Solid defensive effort, but he'll be kicking himself for missing a free header 10 minutes into the second half.
Mertesacker: 4 -- Nearly handed Swansea a second on the stroke of halftime after getting caught up in possession.
Monreal: 6 -- Has been really good throughout this season, and remains a force going both ways for the Gunners.
Kolasinac: 7 -- A threat down the wing throughout the match. Had a goal and an assist to show for his efforts.
Xhaka: 5 -- Always does the dirty work in the midfield and helped preserve the advantage late.
Ramsey: 7 -- Brilliant finish to give the Gunners the lead. A danger throughout the match.
Bellerin: 6 -- Will be upset he couldn't keep his shot down a bit in the 66th minute.
Sanchez: 6 -- Nearly found the back of the net before halftime, and looked a menace after the break. Just couldn't find the goal.
Ozil: 7 -- Very strong outing for the German, who also set up Kolasinac's finish.
Lacazette: 5 -- Quiet match for the summer signing, despite nearly breaking into the scoresheet after the hour mark.
Substitutions:
Rob Holding, Olivier Giroud
