Arsenal's quest to finish in the top 4 is likely to be one fraught with tight matches and frayed nerves. So we should all relish those occasions where the team put on a professional display, and get a routine 3 points. The win over a moribund Reading side makes it 15 points from the last 18 for the Gunners.
Lukasz Fabianski - 7 – Had little to do, but was never less than solid. Made a decent save from Alex Pearce in the second-half.
Bacary Sagna - 7 – A solid comeback from injury. Always comfortable in defence, and augmented the attack nicely when coming forward.

Beating Swansea 2-0 at the Liberty Stadium needs to be contextualised by the following. We came off a midweek away Champions League match – something that even the great Wenger sides struggled with.
Swansea have only lost twice at home (in all competitions) this season. Well, make that thrice.
Lukasz Fabianski - 7 – Followed up his strong performance in midweek with another solid outing. There was one moment of alarm when he came & missed a Swansea corner, but otherwise acquitted himself competently.

If anyone feels slightly warm while reading this article, that’s just the delicious post-win glow.
It’s always nice to win, it’s nicer to keep a clean sheet, it’s even nicer to win away, and it’s especially nice to beat a team often touted as an up-and-coming successor to your style of football.
That’s post-win-glow to the power of four, with another couple of indices coming from the scorers of the goals today.
Continuity
With the exception of Nacho Monreal coming in for Kieran Gibbs, Arsenal named the same backline that did so well against Munich, with the same result.

It was deja vu for Arsenal in the Champions League, as a redoubtable 2nd leg result almost overturned a seemingly insurmountable deficit, ultimately ending with elimination from the competition, but one that comes with pride salvaged.
Lukasz Fabianski - 7 – An impressive outing on his first game of the season. Bar a couple of ropey kicks, he was unruffled in between the sticks. Dealt with crosses with aplomb, and made a superb save from Arjen Robben to keep the contest alive.
