Soccer-Tepid Arsenal sunk by late Gomis header

LONDON, May 11 (Reuters) - Arsenal's hopes of catching Manchester City for second place in the Premier League suffered a setback after a late Bafetimbi Gomis header, verified by goalline technology, handed Swansea City a 1-0 win at the Emirates on Monday.

Substitute Gomis struck five minutes from time, meeting Jefferson Montero's cross with a header that crossed the line before it was scooped out by keeper David Ospina, the goal confirmed almost immediately to the referee by the goalline technology system.

Arsenal, who have three games left to play, remain on 70 points, three points behind City who have two games left and sit in pole position for automatic entry to next season's Champions League group stage.
