[VIDEO] Lukasz Fabianski: Reception From Arsenal Fans Proved I Was Loyal to the Club

Lukasz Fabianski has paid tribute to the Arsenal fans after the reception he received before, during and after Swansea’s 1-0 win at the Emirates last night.

The Polish goalkeeper produced an inspired performance against his old club before Bafetimbi Gomis stooped to head the Welsh side’s winning goal.

It’s a result which leaves Arsenal three points behind Manchester City in third place in the English Premier League, but with a game in hand going into the final matches of the season.

Gunners supporters have been criticised for their treatment of several former players, including Samir Nasri, Robin van Persie and Ashley Cole, who left the club under a cloud.

But their positive reception for Fabianski – who spent seven years at the Emirates largely as a backup – shows another side to them – and it’s one the Pole was very happy with.

Speaking post-match, Fabianski said:

I kind of knew what to expect, but you never know. But then, the reception before the game and then after the game, I’m very happy to have had a reception like that. It tells me that I was always loyal to my former club and they appreciated the work I’ve done for them. It’s always nice to hear people clapping.
