    2-0. Iwobi's deflected shoot loops in over Fabianski.

    That Mawson fella has made so many vital last-ditch interceptions for Swansea to prevent us from any 1v1's with the 'keeper. Probably been one of their better players today, despite the scoreline.

    0-3. Another OG! <laugh>

    Iwobi's neat trickery and footwork bamboozles the fullback, then when he fizzes it in, Naughton sticks his foot out and it goes in.

    0-4. Alexis Sanchez.

    Iwobi playing a key role in that goal again, very good display from the youngster.

    Alexis is being grumpy being subbed. Not only when going off but also afterwards. Sitting on the side. Jacket over the head? Good to have a winner but is he going a little bit over the top now? After all, we are 4-0 up, he scored already, welbeck and lucas get minutes to play....

    0-4. FT.

    Have to say, after an encouraging first half from Swansea, they were absolutely terrible in the second half. Second best to every ball, misplaced passes, no pressing & no real grit in midfield.

    I'm not sure whether it's because we took it up a notch or because they were slow coming out the blocks, but it was an easy win against a side who we traditionally struggle against. First time we've done the double over them since they were promoted to the PL, so that signifies just how many problems we've had playing against them.

    Xhaka was much better in the second half and Ramsey improved, though he still wasn't far past average.

    After getting caught out of position in the first half, Monreal was more disciplined in the second and dealt with Fer easily when he came on, partly because he kept drifting into central positions.

    Koscielny and Mustafi did what they had to do.

    I was surprised that Gabriel wasn't troubled, which is odd considering he was playing as a makeshift fullback. Either way, I'd probably say his performances as a fullback have actually been better than his performances at centre-half! <laugh>

    One player who was pretty ineffective today was Ozil. Didn't really notice his presence in the game.

    But overall, happy to keep a clean sheet, good win and onto the next match we go!

    Only got to listen to the game on the radio today. Looking forward to MOTD later. Great to get a convincing win and keep up with the leading pack. If we can win all of our games going into the Chelsea game, then we've got a really good chance this season.

    Am on holiday (Dubai) so missed the match today.

    Have watched the highlights though. 4-0 is a great result.

    Looks like Iwobi was involved in everything today.

    Wenger should just tell Sanchez, "I'll keep you on til the end every game, but if you get injured in the last 15 minutes, you don't get paid while you are out, OK?"
