Swansea beats Arsenal


Scott Sinclair scored Swansea's first goal from the penalty spot
Henry made return to Barclays Premier League but his side suffered defeat from the spirited Swansea.
Arsenal went in front through Robin van Persie's 18th League goal of the season after less than five minutes. Andrei Arshavin had drifted into a central position and threaded the ball to Van Persie, onside, who wrong-footing Caulker and goalkeeper Michel Vorm directed his shot into a narrow gap just inside the near-post.
Scott Sinclair equalised from the penalty given away by Ramsey. Ramsey got Dyer's ankle with a little tap as Dyer was shielding the ball from Koscielny in the box. Sinclair went hard and low to the right and beating Szczesny with a cool spot-kick.
The home side went ahead through Nathan Dyer just after half-time.It was again Ramsey's mistake who gives the ball away in his own half, letting Allen advance towards the Arsenal box. Allen slipped the ball right to Dyer, who lashed a confident strike high past Szczesny.
Theo Walcott level the score just after Gunners legend Thierry Henry had come off the bench for his Barclays Premier League return. Walcott chiped nicely over Vorm for his first PL goal in three months.
But less than a minute later Graham scored the winner to make it 3-2. He scored from a tight angle, guiding the ball across Szczesny and into the corner of the goal.
