A single goal from Bafetimbi Gomis saw Swansea City beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
It's the first time the Swans have beaten Arsenal home and away in one season in 33 years. It follows their 2-1 win over the North London side at the Liberty Stadium back in November.
It saw a return to his old club for Swans keeper Lukasz Fabianksi who spent seven season with the Gunners. He was named Man of the Match and took to Twitter to show how proud he felt.
Without a doubt a special game to me. Thanks #JackArmy, you have been fantastic. @SwansOfficial pic.twitter.com/kWq90GaROw
