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

Swansea provided a crushing blow to Arsenal's Premier League title hopes Wednesday with a shocking 2-1 win at Emirates Stadium.

Wayne Routledge and Ashley Williams scored for the Swans, who survived a first-half barrage from the Gunners and took advantage of some defensive mistakes to earn all three points. It's a crucial result that moves them six points clear of the relegation zone.

They managed the victory despite finding out earlier in the day that manager Francesco Guidolin would miss the fixture while recovering from a chest infection in the hospital, as Phil Smith of Wales Online reported.
