Arsenal vs. Swansea City: Score and Reaction from 2016 Premier League Match

Arsenal narrowly beat Swansea City 3-2 during Saturday's Premier League action thanks to a Theo Walcott double.

Two quick goals from Walcott capped off an excellent start from the hosts, but Gylfi Sigurdsson pulled one back for Swansea before half-time.

Mesut Ozil restored the two-goal lead in the second half but Borja Baston dragged his team back within a single goal almost immediately. A straight red card for Granit Xhaka set up a nervy finale, but despite a ton of pressure, the Gunners held on for the win.

As shared by Arsenal's official Twitter account, both Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey missed out, while Xhaka made another start in midfield:
