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.

It was Kane's 35th goal of the season and his 150th career club goal, the goal equalled his record of goals for last season as he once again looks on course for another stunning season in front of goal. His header broke the hearts of Palace who were denied a precious point in the battle against relegation. One man who will be thanking Kane for scoring will be Spurs right back Serge Aurier who had missed an open goal a few minutes prior to Kane's goal. The result saw Spurs go above Chelsea into the top four on goal difference before the Blues's trip to Manchester United. The defeat for Palace see's them remain 17th in the table outside the drop zone on goal difference. They also play Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool in three of their next four fixtures. It was a tight and tense affair in the first half and Spurs were unlucky to be denied two penalties....
