Clucas fires in the third after Ayew sliced open the Arsenal defence with a marauding run
The Swans are not keen on keeping it real for a team who were languishing at 20th on the Premier League table. Arsenal were backpedalling more than they would have expected to at the Liberty Stadium and that was largely down to Jordan Ayew and Clucas being absolute thorns in the flesh from the opening minute.

Though their decision making could use an upgrade, Swansea kept testing Arsenal and finally pressed Cech into a blunder which offered comic relief for the hosts and the neutral.
Ayew's movement was excellent and Clucas' finishing was first-rate. Ki was also involved in the proceedings as he put in a shift. When they found themselves in the company of Fer and Dyer, Swansea flourished.
But it was Ayew's performance which was the biggest positive for Swansea. And he could very well be the man who ushers them out of the relegation zone by orchestrating the great escape of the 2017/18 campaign.
