He's a shinner! Ozil has shinned it right into the top corner!

Theo Walcott should be a hat-trick hero.

Some magic from Alex Iwobi, you can tell he is Jay-Jay Okocha's nephew as his feet dazzled, the tricks were supreme. His clipped cross is into the path of Theo Walcott and he has to score, arriving right on time. He side-foots at goal and Lukasz Fabianski dives to his left and clings on.

Leon Britton down the right, not a man who will take several on. He finds Modou Barrow and his flick back to Britton creates a chance to cross, good defending though and Arsenal win a goal kick.

It's a lot more edgy than it should have been that's for sure.

Swansea are showing signs of belief early on in this secound period. Gylfi Sigurdsson is seemingly loving this false nine role and drops deep to slide a ball through to the leggy Modou Barrow.

The wide man shifts, eating into the lead Laurent Koscielny held over him and the French defender has to slide to prod the ball desperately into the path of Shkodran Mustafi who boots clear. Pace terrifies defenders. They looked petrified suddenly.

Anyone else think he's calling for a time out?

Sorry Swans fans, no more America-themed banter.

Still, at least he dressed in a positive colour on his big day.

Not for the first time Theo Walcott is in the wars. He was backing in to Neil Taylor and got caught a bit. Taylor cares little and just wants to take a throw in.

Seconds later though the Swansea left-back absolutely clatters through Mesut Ozil. That's a yellow. It was late, the challenge of a man who is maybe rusty on what is just his third league outing this season.

And off we go again, Swansea over the ball but possession is quickly surrendered. If they lose here, it would equal their worst ever start to a league season.

A big job on their hands to avoid an unwanted tag then.

It has been some road for Bob Bradley from Ohio to Swansea over 35 years.

The man who began his managerial career aged 22 at Ohio Bobcats in 1981 has done it the hard way. After Ohio he spent 11 years at Princeton Tigers. If you count up his roles as either a manager or assistant, he's had 13 before arriving in south Wales.

What does he have to show for it? In club football he's won the MLS Cup once, the US Open Cup twice and at international level the Concacaf Gold Cup with USA once during his five-year spell in charge of the national side from 2006.

So what do you think Arsenal fans? Kicking yourself over that Swansea goal I'm sure. You could have put the feet up and prepared for Champions League competition in midweek.

Looking at the stats, the pass kings out there are Nacho Monreal and Alex Iwobi, both around 94% completion, as is Jack Cork of Swansea.

I must admit, the way the momentum just piled up against Swansea there after Theo Walcott's quick double, I did fear for them.

That goal to give them hope was a true gift. The game looked over, Swansea stumbling around on the ropes waiting for a third and a knockout. Instead they get a donation from Granit Xhaka and this one is still alive.

Time for Bob Bradley's first half-time chat. Will he summon something inspirational. Americans love a good old pumped up rally cry. Go Bob...

A key moment at the death in the opening period. Jord Amat is up with the cavalry as Swansea look to swing a free-kick in. Good out-swinger, pace on it, Amat will get to this 10 yards out... saved by Petr Cech.

A decent downward header, just not in the corner. A very good opening.

Alexis has played twice for Chile in the past 10 days, including a meeting with Peru on Wednesday.

He's not been too prominent today, Theo Walcott taking the helm. Walcott needs some treatment having been caught by a hand in the face. Nothing too heavy, he just got a poke in the eye I think.

Alexis Sanchez eyes one from 30 yards, deflected wide. Can Arsenal open a two-goal cushion again before the break? That would kill Swansea you feel. Good claim by Lukasz Fabianski.

lJaz: Just what swansea needed. A goal before half time! What a finish.

Kelvin Kusako: What a silly goal to give away Arsenal. Swansea back in the game just like that.

So Bob Bradley has wound up in the land of song, a place where a male-voice choir is common and where new-born babies sing rather than scream. He must now be thinking about his half-time tunes.

Speaking to BBC Wales Sport he said he'd have to slowly inch in on the music in the Swansea City dressing room: "The players choose the music to start with and then every now and again I say 'who picked this? Any of you guys know who Van Morrison is, Bruce Springsteen?' I'm going to start to get a little bit in there."

Gylfi Sigurdsson has his back to goal some 10 yards out after good work by Modou Barrow. Can he wriggle and shoot? He can wriggle all right but Shkodran Mustafi does enough to force the Swansea man into shooting well wide. What an end to the half from the Welsh side.

When you take Ashley Williams out of the Swansea side, the real organiser, you have to wonder where the leadership is coming from?

That is a poor goal.

Arsenal are going very well at the moment but it's not about getting pats on the back now, it's about getting them in May. That's why many Arsenal fans remain doubtful about their chances of mounting a serious challenge for the Premier League title.
