Swansea City manager Garry Monk has hailed his side's belief after staging a dramatic comeback to beat Arsenal 2-1 this afternoon.

Alexis Sanchez had opened the scoring on 63 minutes as the Gunners looked on course for victory at the Liberty Stadium.

However, two goals in quick succession from Gylfi Sigurdsson and Bafetimbi Gomis by 78 minutes had turned the game on its head.

"It's about belief," a delighted Monk told BBC Sport at full time.

"We talked about belief before the game, about how good we have been and how good we can be. We showed our character."

Victory takes the Swans above Arsenal into fifth in the Premier League table.
