Bob Bradley falls in first Premier League match

Bob Bradley managed his first match in the Premier League after being appointed manager of Swansea City two weeks ago. Unfortunately, that first match was against an in-form Arsenal side. Swansea and Bob Bradley ended up losing 3-2, but they did give the title chasers a challenge in the process.

Swansea started weakly, with Arsenal dominating and regularly creating chances. It was only after Arsenal took a 2-goal lead through Theo Walcott after the half-hour mark that Swansea came to life. Gylfi Sigurdsson was able to capitalize on a defensive mistake from Granit Xhaka and summarily put the Swans back into the game.
