Fabianski - That Was Harsh

Lukasz Fabianski watched Arsenal score three goals past him in the second half at the Liberty this afternoon but did not feel that the final scoreline was reflective of the full game itself.

The Swans were the better team for the first ninety minutes of the game but were unable to make their dominance count and were made to pay for that inability to capitalise thanks to the second half goals.

Fabianski also held his hands up for the second goal that could easily have resulted in a free kick to the Swans but he did admit that he felt a challenge at the same time despite potentially making the wrong decision on the spur of the moment.

It was completely different for Fabianski compared to his man of the match performance at the Emirates earlier this year and it was a game that saw the Swans slip to their second consecutive home defeat following the game against Stoke earlier in the month.

I think it was harsh,” said Fabianski. "In the first half, especially, we were in control of the game. We created some really good chances and it didn’t look like were going to lose three goals.

"It was good football, especially with the way we passed the ball around them and the way we tried to find the spaces.

"The game could have been different, but we were not able to put the chances away, so it’s a disappointing final result.

"It’s always disappointing to concede a goal, but especially when you are the team in control.

"The second goal then felt like a goal given away. I felt some contact [from Koscielny], but maybe I could have made a different decision and punched the ball - then there wouldn’t have been a decision for the referee to make.

"But if we take the way we played for 60 minutes into the next game, then we can get the three points against Norwich.”
