Arsenal FC completed an all-round performance against Swansea on Saturday as they kept pace with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.
This match also marked by the 2,000th goal that Arsenal FC have scored under the leadership of manager Arsene Wenger – the 49th minute opener by French striker Olivier Giroud.
Arsenal’s 3-0 win also shrugged off doubts that the team would struggle because of a long list of injured players. On the contrary, the Gunners have bounced back from their 3-0 defeat at the hands of Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, in the midweek, to beat Swansea City FC by the same margin, on Saturday.
Hugely impressive result for Arsenal. Big win amid an injury crisis at an incredibly tough place to go.

There was a lot of praise for newly-signed goalkeeper Petr Cech, on Twitter, as the Czech Republic goalkeeper notched up his seventh cleansheet of the season, from 11 matches. A lot of the Gunners fans even thanked Chelsea FC, for selling Cech to cross-town rivals Arsenal.

Thank you @ChelseaFC for Petr Cech. Your legend has saved us a few times now. Thanks to the one who is the founder of Chelsea too.

Arsenal FC are missing top players like Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere in midfield, but that did not affect their performance, as Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla took up the creative mantle. In fact, they have been doing it all season.

However, the biggest of praises came for Costa Rican striker Joel Campbell, who was called up by Wenger from the junior team due to the injuries sustained by Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Joel Campbell has played 83 minutes this season and had a better season than Eden Hazard. I’m finished.
