Lukasz Fabianski insisted he had nothing to prove to Arsene Wenger after coming back to haunt former club Arsenal.
Fabianski was the hero as Swansea won 1-0 at Emirates Stadium last night to leave Arsenal sweating on automatic Champions League qualification.
He made a string of saves and his performance left team-mate Gylfi Sigurdsson hailing him as one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League.
“I spent seven years here and I have loads of friends here so to play against them was a strange experience,” said Fabianski, who left Arsenal for Swansea in search of first-team football last summer. “Sometimes it even felt like a training game.
“It was tricky. You never know how you are going to feel until you experience something. It was a strange arriving at the ground and seeing all the people. But there was a game to play and I had to be focused.

“I am past that frustration [at Arsenal]. It has been a long time since I left Arsenal so I am just enjoying my position at the moment at Swansea. I am very happy with my decision to come here and I am really proud of the team’s performance last night.”
Sigurdsson said: “He is right up there with the best in the league. This is probably his first full season as a No1 and he has been fantastic. Some of the saves he made were outstanding and he came for crosses at important times.”
