Arsenal down Swansea in thriller, condemning Bob Bradley to debut defeat SAM JOHNSTONJOHN SIBLEY/REUTERS Arsenal's Theo Walcott celebrates scoring their first goal. Arsenal beat Swansea 3-2 in a thrilling encounter at Emirates Stadium to condemn Bob Bradley to defeat as he became the first American to manage in the English Premier League on Saturday. Twice in seven first-half minutes, Swansea was the architect of its own downfall, failing to clear and allowing England winger Theo Walcott the easiest of doubles from inside the six-yard box. Arsenal, meanwhile, moved level on points with league leader Manchester City, trailing Pep Guardiola's side only on goal difference. Barrow repeatedly burst past Nacho Monreal, and made his dominance over the Arsenal left back count in the 66th, when he centred for substitute Baston to pull Swansea back into the game.
