In training, Arsene Wenger said after the match, Mesut Ozil 得点する／非難する／２０s when he wants. 兵器庫’s goalkeepers 主張する he is almost impossible to defend against.?

井戸／弁護士席, on Saturday, the king of the 補助装置s brought his 殺し屋 finishing in to the open with a strike of sublime ferocity that took 兵器庫 level on points at the 最高の，を越す of the 首相 League.

It was Ozil’s birthday on Saturday. Thankfully, he is only 28. Nobody wants players like him to get old. It is one of the many 特権s of English football to be able to see him play every week. His goal against Swansea, 兵器庫’s third, won the match and was as 甘い a 攻撃する，衝突する as you are likely to see. It was his 現在の to 兵器庫’s fans.

まっただ中に all the angst that has come with 存在 a Gunner these last 10 years, all the fretting about the 失敗 to 勝利，勝つ the league and the worries that Wenger is no longer the 軍隊 he was, there have always been rich 補償（金）s. Ozil is one. The 首相 League トロフィー may not have been seen here for a while but when you get to watch a left-foot like that, it takes away some of the 苦痛.

Only some, of course. This was 兵器庫’s sixth 勝利，勝つ in seven games and they are unbeaten since the 開始 週末 but they still managed to look 猛烈に 攻撃を受けやすい. They have become a club with a gift for making things fraught and this 勝利，勝つ against a Swansea team they 押し進めるd into the 底（に届く） three was no different.

‘It should have been a comfortable afternoon but it ended in an uncomfortable way,’ said Wenger. ‘We just got over the line. We played some fantastic football but at 2-0 up, we lost our 焦点（を合わせる）. We could have 得点する／非難する／２０d a fourth but we could have 譲歩するd, too.’

Partly, that was because after they had twice 設立するd a two-goal cushion, midfielder Granit Xhaka was sent off 中途の through the second half for a foul on Swansea’s 飛行機で行くing winger Modou Barrow who had tormented the 兵器庫 defence all afternoon.

Xhaka’s 取り組む was not dangerous, nor did it 妨げる a 得点する／非難する／２０ing 適切な時期. But it was 猛烈に 冷笑的な and even though it should only have been a yellow, there was little sympathy for him when he was shown a straight red. Wenger said he would not 控訴，上告. ‘I thought it was dark yellow,’ Wenger said. ‘The 審判（をする） thought light red.’

Maybe Wenger feels he can afford to be relaxed about Xhaka’s 差し迫った 中断. 兵器庫 may have been 粘着するing on at the end but there is still much to be 楽観的な about. They have 選択s all over the pitch now, a fact を強調するd by two more goals from in-form Theo Walcott.

Walcott may have struggled to 解雇する／砲火／射撃 for England in Slovenia last week but he was hardly alone in that and yesterday he was too hot for Swansea to 扱う. He 得点する／非難する／２０d 兵器庫’s 開始 two goals and should have had two more in the last five minutes. One of those chances 攻撃する，衝突する the inside of a 地位，任命する, the other skimmed the crossbar. It is a 罰金 sight to see him in 十分な flow like this.

敗北・負かす meant this is Swansea’s worst start to a 首相 League season but there was plenty for their new 経営者／支配人, （頭が）ひょいと動く Bradley, to be 楽観的な about. Barrow was the best player on the pitch. ‘We are just scratching the surface of his talent at the moment,’ Bradley said. Barrow might even have 得点する／非難する／２０d an equaliser late on as his 味方する laid 包囲 to the 兵器庫 goal.

In the 早期に 行う／開催する／段階s, its anarchic の近くに seemed a world way but 兵器庫 broke the 行き詰まる 19 minutes before half-time. Alexis Sanchez 宙返り飛行d a ball out to the 権利 味方する of the box to 圧力をかけて脅す（悩ます） Bellerin and he leapt to 長，率いる the ball across goal, where Walcott had made a run to the 近づく 地位，任命する.

Swansea appeared to have 妨害するd the danger when Jordi Amat got ahead of Walcott but the England 今後 muscled him out of the way and squeezed his 発射 past Lukasz Fabianski from の近くに 範囲. It was a poor goal for Swansea to 譲歩する. Both Amat and Fabianski should have done better.

The goal 解放（する）d 兵器庫. Sanchez nearly 得点する／非難する／２０d a minute later with a 高く弓形に打ち返す that left Fabianski 立ち往生させるd but sailed just wide. Bellerin went の近くに when he ran on to an Ozil pass and he 解除するd the ball over Fabianski but the keeper deflected it just wide.

必然的に, 兵器庫 went その上の ahead 儀礼 of more abject defending. Federico Fernandez failed to （疑いを）晴らす a corner, the ball bounced off Gylfi Sigurdsson’s heel and when it fell to Walcott, he swivelled and swept it past Fabianski.Just when it looked as if 兵器庫 were going to sweep Swansea aside, they grew complacent. Passing the ball around at the 支援する, Xhaka tried to （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Sigurdsson on the 辛勝する／優位 of the box and was 敏速に dispossessed. Sigurdsson 前進するd a couple of yards and curled a 甘い left-foot 発射 beyond Petr Cech.
