SWANSEA, Wales (AP) " Arsenal swept aside Swansea 4-0 to go third in the Premier League on Saturday, claiming only a second away win since October and putting the Welsh club in last place. Goals from Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez, sandwiched between two deflected Alex Iwobi strikes " credited as own goals to Jack Cork and Kyle Naughton " put Arsenal in cruise control and sent Swansea tumbling to the bottom of the league. For the first half Swansea was as good as Clement's word as it fought tenaciously and stopped Arsenal having a meaningful sight of goal. It was the fourth time in the last nine league games that Swansea has conceded at least four goals and Clement has a tough job on to save Swansea from relegation. Arsenal is only ahead of Liverpool on goal difference ahead of the fourth-placed team playing Manchester United on Sunday.
