What a Complete Disastrous Defeat for Arsena

-

Following the feeble performance and surprising 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford on Sunday, this was unquestionably a must-win game for the Gunners. Leicester dropped two points on Tuesday night, Tottenham and Manchester City lost away from home this evening. Arsenal needed a simple, no-nonsense victory over relegation-threatened Swansea --
especially ahead of the trip to White Hart Lane on Saturday.

For all the questions about Arsenal's fighting spirit, this was a tremendously energetic, aggressive performance. The home side came flying out of the traps in the first half, pinning Swansea back into their own third and enjoying a number of chances. For the second period, Wenger sent his players out early, presumably having given them a short, sharp and pointed team talk.

They only managed a single goal, however, in the 90 minutes. Arsenal had lots of opportunities but managed to hit the woodwork three times, through Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud. Arsenal's two most potent goalscoring weapons have dried up at the same time, managing just one goal -- Sanchez's in the FA Cup against Burnley -- in their last 18 combined appearances. They couldn't have come much closer here, but ultimately the lack of precision in the penalty area is costing Arsenal.

Their defending wasn't much better. The equaliser was sloppy, coming seconds after an Arsenal goal-kick, while Ashley Williams' winner arrived from a set-piece. Wenger was furious at the concessions, and looked devastated at the final whistle as a huge chorus of boos rang out around the now half-empty Emirates. Wenger knows, and the fans know: this was a huge missed opportunity.

An expectant father has accused EFCC officials of breaking into his home in the middle of the night to conduct a search without a warrant. The man said he was at his home in Olokuta, Kemta, in Idi-Aba, Abeokuta between 3 am to 5 am, when some men forcefully broke into his house using a hammer.  He added that he was afraid they were armed robbers, so he hid in the guest bedroom with his pregnant wife as the men broke in through the sitting room window. According to him, the intruders claimed to be EFCC officials looking for "Yahoo boys", but they had no form of identification, neither did they have a search warrant.  Even without a search warrant, the victim alleged that they searched his house, damaged things, then left without as much as an apology.
