Garry Monk: 'Swansea City players followed my plans to the letter against Arsenal'

Swansea City manager Garry Monk has praised his players for their obedience and adaptability in their 1-0 win away at Arsenal on Monday night.

The Gunners dominated from the start at the Emirates Stadium, but were unable to find a way past their former goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, who made a number of important saves.

Bafetimbi Gomis then scored the winner for the Swans with five minutes left to play as he headed in from Jefferson Montero's cross.

Monk told Sky Sports News after the game: "We worked all week on our plan. The players were magnificent and carried it out to the letter.

"I've tried to make the team adaptable. There's no one way to play - as a team you have to be able to adapt and today was a perfect example of that.

"We didn't have a fit striker to choose from the start but I knew if it was tight in the last 20 minutes we could push for a winner."

Swansea's win at the Emirates means that they have defeated Arsenal twice in the league this season.
