Wenger relieved after close win

Arsene Wenger was a relieved man after Arsenal finally got their Barclays Premier League campaign up and running with a narrow 1-0 win over gallant Swansea at Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners were in need of a response following a nightmare start to the season, which saw them sell both captain Cesc Fabregas and playmaker Samir Nasri before being thumped 8-2 at Manchester United ahead of the international break.
