Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez net for the Gunners whilst Alexis Iwobi forces two own goals. Jack Cork and Kyle Naughton both found themselves on the scoresheet after Arsenal's youngster caused chaos.
ARSENAL strolled to victory against Swansea in the Premier League after goals from Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez whilst own goals from Jack Cork and Kyle Naughton piled more misery on the home side.
After a very dull start Giroud gave the Gunners the lead on 37 minutes when Mesut Ozil’s header hit defender Alfie Mawson and the Frenchman tucked away the loose ball.
Olivier Giroud became Arsenal’s first player to score in five successive games in all competitions since Emanuel Adebayor in 2008.
Arsenal fans had a scare late in the first half after Swans midfielder Ki Sung-yueng went down in the box but after immediately blowing his whistle, referee Mike Jones made a terrific decision to book the South Korean for diving.
Swansea then went two behind in the 54th minute when Alex Iwobi’s effort across goal hit Jack Cork with the ball looping into the back of net – with the goal going down as a Cork own goal.
Iwobi was then at the heart of another own goal with Kyle Naughton being the culprit this time as the teenager fizzed in a low cross which the defender turned into his own net.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain cut the ball back to Aaron Ramsey which was blocked but Alexis Sanchez was on hand to help the ball into the top corner.
Paul Clement now faces a huge task to turn things around at the Liberty Stadium after now conceding 18 goals in their last six home games.
Wenger substituted goalscorer Sanchez for Danny Welbeck in the 79th minute but after a dominant team display the Chilean sulked on the bench after being taken off.
