LONDON (Reuters) - It was an all too familiar sight for Arsene Wenger as Arsenal threw away a lead to lose 2-1 at Swansea City on Sunday and the Frenchman acknowledged his flaky team are becoming a cause for concern.

It may only have been their second Premier League defeat of the season but Wenger's side have now lost nine points from a winning position, more than any other top-flight team, indicating it is a bigger problem than simply poor form.
