Walcott the hero for Arsenal

LONDON -- Three points from the Emirates after Arsenal hung on with 10 men for a 3-2 win over Swansea in the Premier League.

1. Arsenal make it difficult but hang on

Arsenal keep winning, barely, even when they make things extraordinarily hard on themselves. This was a game that showed off the best and worst sides of Arsene Wenger's team as they turned what should have been a comfortable win into a painfully nervous afternoon. Arsenal led 2-0 and 3-1 and seemed in full control for periods only to have to desperately hang on to a one-goal lead with 10 men for the last 20 minutes.
