Arsenal fight back to defeat Swansea, as City continue unbeaten run; Liverpool win

Goals by Sead Kolasinac and Aaron Ramsey helped Arsenal come from behind to win 2-1 in their Premier League clash with Swansea City at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Sam Clucas slotted home the opener for the visitors through Tammy Abraham’s pass, their first touch of the ball inside Arsenal’s penalty area, which happened in the 22nd minute.

It was exactly six minutes after the interval that Kolasinac equalised for the Gunners, before assisting Ramsey seven minutes later to grab the winner.

Elsewhere, Premier League leaders, Manchester City clinched their 8th consecutive league win with a 3-2 score over West Brom.

Goals by Leroy Sane, Fernandinho and Raheem Sterling were enough to see off Westbrom as goals by Jay Rodriguez and Matt Philip fell short for the hosts.

With the win, City re-established their five-point lead over second-placed United, who earlier defeated Tottenham 1-0 at Old Trafford.
