Comments:

League position: 20th Swansea City became the first team to 'score' two own goals in a Premier League game since Queens Park Rangers' Richard Dunne and Steven Caulker against Liverpool on 19 October 2014 . The Swans had now conceded four or more goals in three of their last five home games in the Premier League, after only conceding four or more in three of their previous 62 Premier League games at the Liberty Stadium. City had now lost 13 of the 15 games so far in this Premier League season when they had conceded the first goal (won one).

Comments:

League position: 3rd Arsenal had now scored four or more goals in four away Premier League games in this season; their most since 2002-03. Olivier Giroud became the first player to score in five consecutive games in all competitions for the Gunners since Emmanuel Adebayor in February 2008. Laurent Koscielny became the 15th player to make 200 appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal in this game.
