Swansea City inflicted a 1-0 defeat on Arsenal to move within a point of seventh-placed Southampton on the Premier League table on Monday night.

The 85th-minute winner from Bafetimbi Gomis was enough to award the win to the Swans and manager Garry Monk believes his side put their bodies on the line to achieve the victory over their high-flying rivals.

He told Sky Sports: "It was the plan we set up with. We worked all week on it. The players were magnificent. We had to ride a couple of chances but you expect that here and I always thought we could create chance or two ourselves.

"I've just tried to make them adaptable. We've won games dominating possession and we've won games like tonight. We had to pay respect to Arsenal, had to defend and put bodies on the line and we did that really well."
