Williams pleased with draw

Swansea City captain Ashley Williams has revealed that he is pleased with his side's 2-2 draw at Arsenal on Tuesday.

The Swans took the lead at the Emirates Stadium through Wilfried Bony before goals from Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud looked to have given the Gunners the spoils.

However, Mathieu Flamini put the ball into his own net in the 90th minute to secure Swansea a valuable point in their fight for survival.

"To get a point against a team challenging for the title is pleasing," Williams told the club's official website. "There is an element of disappointment because we led for so long, but on the whole it's a good point.

"When you're walking off the pitch you're thinking was it a point gained or two dropped, but when we reflect on the game it's a point that takes us to the 30 landmark."

Tuesday's draw has seen the Welsh side move five points clear of the relegation zone with seven games left to play.
