Swansea City are not only celebrating an impressive three points but also that they're the third team in Premier League history to complete a double over Arsenal and Manchester United in the same season.
Bafetimbi Gomis headed a late winner - thanks to some help from goal-line technology - to send Garry Monk's side back to Wales with a historic result.
It was a case of deja vu for the Swans, as the Frenchman also scored the winning goal at the Liberty Stadium with the scores poised at 1-1.
Louis van Gaal's men were victims of the clinical Welsh side earlier on in the season, with a 2-1 scoreline in both games including at Old Trafford - where Gylfi Sigurdsson popped up with the clincher.
West Ham United were the first team to do it back in the 2006-07 season, when they narrowly defeated the Gunners and United by one goal - home and away - including Carlos Tevez's final day heroics at Old Trafford to save them from the drop.
Chelsea were the second side to complete the feat during Jose Mourinho's first spell at Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal were no match for the formidable Blues, being beaten 3-0 at home and 2-0 away, with Didier Drogba scoring four of the five goals.
Sir Alex Ferguson's men were also brushed aside by Mourinho's side, with both results sealing the title for Chelsea and finishing the campaign just one point ahead of their rivals.Source:Dailymail.
