No saving Gunners from super Swans

HE MAY have been able to ride to their rescue in the FA Cup, yet Thierry Henry can now be under illusions that the Arsenal of now is in no better shape than the one he left.

Just as he did against Leeds a week ago, the Gunners legend made another cameo here at the Liberty Stadium, yet this time he was unable to inspire a turnaround in fortunes as Arsene Wenger’s team’s top-four ambitions suffered another significant setback.

It had all started so well. Robin van Persie had given the Gunners an early lead only for a Scott Sinclair penalty and Nathan Dyer strike to swing the contest in Swansea’s favour.
