London: Arsenal faced damaging defeat on Saturday as the side plummeted to 10th place, five points below the Champions League places, after Spanish forward Miguel Michu’s late brace gave Swansea City a 2-0 victory over Arsene Wenger’s misfiring side.
A cut-price £2 million ($3.2 million, 2.5 million euros) close-season signing from Rayo Vallecano, Michu struck in the 88th and 90th minutes to take his tally for the campaign to 10 league goals and silence the Emirates Stadium.
Having taken just 21 points from a possible 45, it is Arsenal’s worst start to a season since Wenger became manager in 1996.
“We were not good and Swansea deserved to win,” said the Frenchman.
“Our fans cannot be happy when we do not win games and what we produced today is not enough to keep our fans happy.”
