Live Text isn't live anymore, this is a record of the match events.
Full Time SWANSEA TAKE THE POINTS: Well, what can you say? The Swans have been excellent and you simply can't begrudge them off maximum honours from this game. For Arsenal, it's their second defeat on the spin. They had their chances but clinical finishing from the hosts has proved decisive.
90
Substitution LATE SWANS CHANGE: Leroy Lita enters the fray with just moments remaining. Graham, whose goal looks to be the match winner, walks off to rapturous applause.
90
INTERESTING FREE-KICK: The clock ticks, we'll have four minutes added on and Arsenal have a free-kick in a good position.... but this one is headed away and Swansea look to break.
90
IT'S NEARLY OVER: It looks like Arsenal will be going home empty-handed from this match. Unless there's a rabbit in a hat somewhere, of course.
89
DOUBLE SAVE FROM VORM: It's Rosicky who stings the palms of the Dutchman with a rasping drive, before Koscielny's follow-up is easily held by the keeper.
87
VOLLEY FROM ROSICKY: And that is the impact that AOC can have. The youngster races down the left, eventually gets his cross in and Rosicky tries the ambitious volley.
86
TIME RUNNING OUT: Arsenal are staring consecutive Premier League defeats in the face here. All the aces in the pack are laid out, but just five minutes remain.
85

83
VORM IN THE RIGHT PLACE: That was a cross of real quality from Walcott. It's Ramsey with a powerful header but it's straight at Vorm in the end.
82
Substitution DYER OFF TO STANDING OVATION: And rightly so, he's been excellent. Wayne Routledge is the man to replace him.
81
RVP HAS DROPPED DEEP: It's Henry in that main striking role, flanked by Oxlade-Chamberlain and Walcott.
80
BUT SWANSEA ALMOST CAPITALISE: With Arsenal streaming forward the hosts break. It's only for a brilliant Djourou challenge that Szczesny is not tested.
79
TEN LEFT ON THE CLOCK: ... plus whatever is added on. There's still time to turn this game on its head, and the signs look positive for now.
78
AOC MARRAUDS FORWARD: The youngster flys down the left and looks for Henry, but the vital foot of a Swansea man halts the cross' progress.
76
Substitution IT'S MERTESACKER OFF: A real attacking substitution from Wenger. On comes Oxlade-Chamberlain.
76
THE OX IS BEING READIED: It'll be his first taste of Premier League action since the 8-2 humbling at Old Trafford if memory serves me correctly.
75
WALCOTT WINS A CORNER: Mertesacker strides forward... but it's punched clear by Vorm.
75
RIP UP THE STAT BOOK: We've seen goal galore in a game that promised very few.
74
SO....WHAT NOW? We've seen it all in that short spell, but most importantly Arsenal are still behind after it all. Fifteen minutes left to salvage something.
72
PER PUTS IT WIDE: I'm not too sure how, but he does. Djourou wins a commanding header from the corner and the German can't get the ball under control. As a result, his shot squirms past the post. A mad five minutes.
72
HENRY WINS THE CORNER: The striker's looping header only drops narrowly wide and Arsenal have the corner.
71
...BUT IT'S SHORTLIVED: Danny Graham races up the other end, finds space inside the box and finishes excellently into the bottom corner past Szczesny. A bitter pill to swallow.
70
ABSOLUTE MADNESS: First things first, the Arsenal equaliser. Djourou feeds Walcott with an incisive ball through the middle, the England man making no mistake with a sweet finish.
70
GOAL! - Danny Graham 3 : 2 BUT WAIT! SWANSEA ARE BACK IN THE LEAD!
69
GOAL! - Theo Walcott 2 : 2 ARSENAL ARE LEVEL! WALCOTT SCORES!
67
A LITTLE BETTER FROM ARSENAL: At least they're showing some positive signs going forward now. The substitutes will need to provide that new lease of life.
65
ROSICKY TRIES THE SHOT: The substitute has a go from range but the shot is weak and Vorm has it well covered.
64
HENRY MOVES OUT LEFT: It looks like the 34-year-old will be a straight swap for Arshavin on this left-hand side. The boss believes he can still play there.
63
Substitution ...AND ROSICKY: It's Benayoun who makes way.
63
Substitution ON COMES HENRY: It's his first Premier League appearance since February 2007. What impact can he have this time? A repeat of Monday is just what the doctor ordered.
62
SWANSEA CORNER: Koscielny and Graham tussle on the touchline and eventually the set-piece is awarded to the Welsh outfit.
61
TIME FOR CHANGE: Tomas Rosicky and Thierry Henry are coming on shortly.
60
DJOUROU DEFENDS WELL: The home side are showing no let-up despite their lead. Graham looms in the middle as Djourou is forced to clear for the corner. Mertesacker heads away.
59
NEED A FOOTHOLD: It all looked so promising at the beginning of the half but not Arsenal have it all to do. A real, real blow.
58
ARSENAL GO TO SLEEP: They've paid the price dearly. The Gunners give the ball away cheaply, Sigurdsson finds Dyer in space and the winger does the rest with a fine finish.
57
GOAL! - Nathan Dyer 2 : 1 DISASTER! DYER PUTS THE HOSTS AHEAD!
57
SIGURDSSON LOOKING BRIGHT: He's looking sharp since his arrival. At the time it looked a smart loan signing from Swansea when they got his short-term signature from Hoffenheim at the start of the window.
55
ARSENAL UNDER PRESSURE: After a bright start out of the traps, the Gunners are riding the wave of Swansea pressure. This time Benayoun stabs a corner clear.

53
ALLEN FIRES WIDE: The young Welshman gathers on the edge of the area and drives a rasping effort just wide of Szczesny's goal. It looked closer than it probably was, in truth.
52
MIQUEL CLIPS ONE IN: The youngster has clearly been told to get forward more this half. This time the cross isn't so good, however.
50
DYER FLASHES WIDE: That was reasonably close for Swansea. The corner is only half cleared by Arsenal, and Dyer cuts inside before unleashing an effort just past the post. Szczesny had it covered.
50
KOSCIELNY DEFENDS: Dyer, who has been so dangerous this match, sees his useful cross flicked away by the French defender for a corner.
49
VAN PERSIE HEADS CLEAR: Sigurdsson floats in the corner from the right but the Arsenal captain is on hand with the header away.
48
ARSHAVIN SHOOTS OVER: That was a good chance, as the Russian blazes over from Ramsey's pass. This is a fine start to the second half from Arsenal.
47
SUPER BALL FROM MIQUEL: Arshavin plays the Spaniard in down the left with an excellent ball, before the young left-back plays in a dangerous ball into the box. Any touch would have sent that home.
46
'THIERRY HENRY, THIERRY HENRY': The Frenchman is warming up on the touchline and the Arsenal supporters want him on already.
Kick Off WE'RE OFF AGAIN: And Walcott races forward from the off before sending a shot flying over the bar. Positive start.
46
Substitution SWANSEA CHANGE: Kemy Agustien is withdrawn for Icelandic hotshot Gylfi Sigurdsson. Agustien had a decent first half.
45
THEY'RE BACK OUT: Arsenal jog back onto the pitch with everything left to play for in this second half. It might not have gone entirely their way in the first, but Arsene Wenger's words of wisdom may put a few things right.
45
FIRST-HALF STATS: Well, worryingly Arsenal have only enjoyed 43% of the possession so far. That has to change for starters. In terms of shots, however, it's four apiece. Arsenal have hit the target with every one of them.
Half Time LEVEL AT THE BREAK: Arsenal took the lead through an early trademark Van Persie strike, before Sinclair drew the hosts level just minutes later. It's a fair scoreline on reflection, but Arsenal are yet to convince. Swansea have impressed against their more illustrious visitors and look good value for their share so far.
45
TWO MINUTES ADDED ON: Not too much in the way of stoppages so far in this one.
45
WALCOTT FLICKS IT ON: The England man gets his head to it, but Vorm is there to clutch hold of the ball mid-air.
45
ARSENAL WIN THE FREE-KICK: It's in a good position near the corner flag. A chance to cross, with Koscielny and Mertesacker getting forward.
44
STAY TUNED: We'll be back in the studio with Richard Fleming and Adrian Clarke for their assessment of the first half.

42
ARSHAVIN WITH THE SHOT: That looked a little out of frustration in truth. The Russian has a pop from range but Rangel is on hand with the block.
40
DYER STINGS SZCZESNY'S PALMS: Dyer v Miquel was always going to be an interesting battle, and the former gets the better this time. He cuts inside before unleashing a decent effort straight down the throat of Szczesny.
38
IT'S ALL GONE QUIET: Neither side have tested the two goalkeepers too much. Possession is being squandered at regular intervals as both teams jostle for their share of the play.
36
STRONG FROM MERTESACKER: Graham crashes in a low cross into the penalty area but the German is on hand to slide in and avert danger.
34
HOSTS HAPPY IN POSSESSION: There's no real rush to get the ball forward from Swansea at the moment. They're being patient in their own half for now.
32
OFF THE LINE! He might have 18 league goals this season but he can defend too. The set-piece is headed back across goal by Spurs loanee Caulker, with Van Persie on hand to head clear.
31
SILLY FROM YOSSI: Swansea try and create some space in a tight area out wide, but Benayoun gives them the opportunity to cross from a free-kick.
29
GREAT CHANCE FOR ROBIN: Brendan Rogers will be furious with that defending. First Britton gives the ball away cheaply to Benayoun, who then finds Van Persie in acres of space. He bears down on goal and strikes, but Vorm smothers the shot excellently. That's why they love him in this corner of Wales.
28
ALMOST FOR ANDREY: Arshavin and Van Persie try to link up after a delightful ball from the back, but the Russian is flagged offside. That looked promising.
26
RAMSEY WINS THE TUSSLE: The Welshman wins the ball from Agustien and then the free-kick. The Swansea fans respond with a slanderous chant no doubt related to his Cardiff connections.
25
WASTEFUL FROM SINCLAIR: The winger finds the ball at his feet with space and time, but his effort at a cross is poor.
24
HOME CROWD ARE DELIGHTED: They have every reason to be. Their side are playing some hugely encouraging stuff. You certainly wouldn't have put them down as a newly-promoted side.
22
TAKE IT EASY, ARSENAL: A good spell of possession certainly wouldn't go amiss right now. Arsenal are looking to break quickly, but errors are proving costly going forward.
20
BRILLIANT FROM DJOUROU: The Swiss defender gets his head to the corner and Miquel eventually clears to safety. Arsenal are a little penned in right now.
19
SWANSEA CORNER: Agustien drives a hopeful free-kick from 35 yards, which takes a deflection.
18
SO CLOSE FOR RAMSEY! Van Persie's initial shot is blocked, but Ramsey scoops up possession en route to goal. He flashes a ball across the box, but Swansea eventually get rid. That could have gone anywhere.
16
GOAL! - Scott Sinclair 1 : 1 SINCLAIR CONVERTS: Szczesny guesses right but the penalty is tucked into the left corner of the net with aplomb. Swansea probably deserve their leveller.
16
PENALTY TO SWANSEA! Oh, no! Replays suggest that Ramsey did indeed clip Nathan Dyer inside the box. The winger went down and Michael Oliver points to the spot...
15
BUT IT COMES TO NOTHING: Allen's delivery is poor from the resulting set-piece, and Williams can't keep the ball in play. Goal-kick.
14
HANDBALL! It's Benayoun who gives away a free-kick in a useful position after allegedly blocking Rangel's cross with his arm.

11
ALMOST FOR DYER: Sinclair leads the quick breakaway for Swansea and looks to play in his fellow winger - but Szczesny gathers comfortably.
9
'HE SCORES WHEN HE WANTS', comes the cry. He really does, doesn't he?
8
CONFIDENT START: They have the early goal and now they look classy in possession. Swansea ave responded well to their early setback, however.
7
SWANSEA LOOK FOR RESPONSE: Graham tries to tee up Allen for the strike, but the former had already been flagged offside.
6
IT'S ANOTHER FOR RVP: That's 20 league goals in his last 20 away matches for the captain. There's no stopping him right now. Erm, unless you're Fulham.
5
WHAT A START FOR ARSENAL! As he did against Everton, it was Andrey Arshavin with the decisive ball. The Russian plays in the Dutchman through the middle, who fakes before firing past Vorm.
5
GOAL! - Robin van Persie 0 : 1 IT'S ROBIN! ARSENAL TAKE THE LEAD!
4
EXCELLENT NOISE IN WALES: Both sets of supporters are doing their bit in these early exchanges.
2
GREAT LINK-UP FROM RVP: Alex Song clips the ball onto the head of Van Persie, who almost frees Walcott through the middle. It's just cleared before the winger can cause any problems.
1
AGUSTIEN TRIES ONE: The Dutchman bustles forward past Ramsey and gets sight of goal - but his eventual effort is wayward. Well wide.
1
AND THEY'RE OFF: Swansea will get us started. There's a beautiful atmosphere here at kick-off.
'LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE': Roars the tannoy here at the Liberty Stadium. Err, OK.
IGGY'S FIRST LEAGUE START: I forgot to mention this. He's made eight appearances so far this season but this is his first from the off in the Premier League.
AND HERE THEY COME: Arsenal, as ever, led by Robin van Persie. Can he get back on the score sheet this afternoon? You would be mad to bet against it, clearly.
FIVE MINUTES TO GO: The teams are gathered in the tunnel and we'll be underway shortly once the formalities are out of the way. Fe-fi-fo-fum...
HISTORY BRIEF: Well, in truth there's not a great deal between these two sides. But Swansea beat Arsenal 2-0 home and away in the 1981/82 season - the last season the two sides were pitted against one another in the top flight.
RAMSEY'S ON HOME SOIL: A product of the Cardiff City youth programme, there's no doubt which side of south Wales his priorities lie. So a double incentive for the young Welshman this afternoon, if you will.
BIG CHANCE FOR DUO: Andrey Arshavin and Yossi Benayoun both have opportunities to shine this afternoon. Benayoun in particular will be keen to demonstrate his worth with Arteta sidelined for a brief period.
FIFTEEN MINUTES AWAY: Not long to go now until the two sides emerge for this one. But which Arsenal will turn up today? We want a rampage...
SWANSEA IMPRESSED: The Swans are perhaps one of the best sides to visit the Emirates so far this season. It was only a rare goalkeeping error from Michel Vorm that denied them a share of the spoils.

PARK HUNTING FOR LEAGUE DEBUT: The South Korean is named among the substitutes this afternoon. He's still looking for his first taste of Premier League action.
CAN THIERRY INSPIRE AGAIN? He did it against Leeds and now the weight of expectation naturally falls on his shoulders. Hopefully he may not be needed this time around.
SWANSEA STRUGGLE FOR GOALS: Keeping with trend, only two teams have not outscored Brendan Rogers' side this season. So, 4-4 yes?
THE GOAL TRAIL: Arsenal, meanwhile, have found the net just nine times in as many games in all competitions. A repeat of Wigan away, their last three-plus goal haul, would be delightful.
STRONG AT HOME: Likewise, only United have beaten the Swans on their own path this term. They have, however, drawn five of their 10 fixtures at the Liberty Stadium so far.
SWANSEA ARE TOUGH NUTS: If you're expecting a gluttony of goals this afternoon, perhaps think again. Only Manchester United have kept more clean sheets than today's opponents.
SO, CAN ARSENAL RESPOND? The defeat to Fulham was long forgotten with victory in the FA Cup against Leeds last Monday. Arsene Wenger will be craving three points with Tottenham and Liverpool both having dropped points yesterday.
SUBSTITUTES: Tremmel, Monk, Richards, Sigurdsson, Routledge, Moore, Lita.
SWANSEA: Vorm, Rangel, Williams (c), Caulker, Taylor, Agustien, Britton, Allen, Sinclair, Dyer, Graham.
SUBSTITUTES: Almunia, Yennaris, Squillaci, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henry, Park.
ARSENAL: Szczesny, Djourou, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Miquel, Song, Ramsey, Benayoun, Walcott, Arshavin, Van Persie (c).
TEAM NEWS: Mikel Arteta misses out with a mild calf problem, so Yossi Benayoun gets the nod in midfield for the second time this season.
THE SUN IS OUT: It's a bright afternoon in south Wales and we'll be here to guide you through events. Arsenal will be desperate to bounce back from defeat against Fulham in their last league outing.
GOOD AFTERNOON: Welcome to the Liberty Stadium, where Arsenal prepare to face Swansea in the Premier League.

Disappointing result, we have major problems that need addressing. Ramsey not on his game today and defenders were shocking. Poor...
