Arsenal now find themselves in 10th place after yet another defeat and the pressare growing on Arsene Wenger.

A late double strike from Michu moved Swansea up to 7th and Arsenal down to 10th.

Michu has turned out to be one of the buys of the season after scoring two late goals at Arsenal to cap a great day in North London for Swansea. Michael Laudrup's team are now in a Euorpa League place above Arsenal in the table.

There were protests from Arsenal fans before kick off, Arsene Wenger'steam did not help the case when at half time his team were 0-0 which sent a row of boo's at the half time whistle. Wenger said after the game that he will look at his future at the end of the season. 

Arsenal were on the back foot for most of the game as they were unable to play their free flowing football, Wenger said that this was the first of 4 home games this month had to be win but it turned out to be terror they have only won 3 of their 10 home games this season.

Early on in the game Swansea right back Angel Rangel forced the Arsenal keeper into a double save whilst Santi Cazorla and Lukas Podolski had chances.

The second half Arsenal came into the game more but were still unable to mount a serious challenge at the Swansea goal.

Swansea then got what they deserved in the 88th Minute when the ball came through the Arsenal defence and Michu Chipped it over the Keeper and in to the top corner, they then got their second when Jenkinson had run out of places to go and was challenged by Michu who ran down the wing and out the ball in the bottom corner to the anger of the home fans who booed. At full time the fans again blasted out boo's at yet another bad home performance by the Gunners who drop to 10th Swansea are 7th.
