<b>Arsenal 1-2 Wigan:</b> In one week, Wigan have dispelled losing records against Man Utd and Arsenal. Amazing stuff from the Latics, who must surely be on their way to Premier League survival after two incredible wins. Martinez and his players take the applause from the away fans. I think I can hear some cheers coming from White Hart Lane too!

It's all over...
- 95'
Wigan again get it clear.
- 95'
One more lump into the box from Arsenal...
- 94'
Diame with a superb run and his left-foot shot forces Szczesny into a save low to his left.
- 94'
Martinez wildly gesticulating, it's nearly party time for him and Wigan.
- 93'
McArthur with a tidy turn to open up some midfield space but the ball is immediately back with those in red and white.

<i>Again</i> Arsenal give away a cheap foul in the Wigan half.
- 91'
But Arsenal can now launch another attack. Five added minutes to play.
- 90'
Caldwell's long diagonal picks out Sammon, who plucks the ball out of the air in style.
- 90'
Another cheap free-kick conceded to Wigan - Santos fouls Diame on this occasion.
- 89'
Sammon has done a good job of replicating Di Santo's fine work-rate. He's chasing across the Arsenal backline everytime they gett he ball.
- 88'
The Ox has struggled to find a pass so far, there's been quite a few loose ones from the youngster.
- 87'
Wigan free-kick on the halfway line, and it's the Latics keeping the ball. The frustration building in Arsenal.
- 86'
Have we just seen the match-winner leave the field? Four minutes, plus stoppage time to go for Arsenal to find an equaliser, they do love scoring late.
- 85'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Diame on for Gomez.
- 84'
Looking at that coming together again, I think Figueroa was a little lucky to get away with it.
- 83'
Walcott finally gets half a yard on Figueroa but the winger is forced off the ball. It looked like it could have been a free-kick for a push but Marriner was not interested.

<i>@multieric008 on Twitter:</i> I smell a goal
- 82'
Sagna crosses towards Van Persie, who tries an outrageous jumping back heel. It would have been a goal of the season contender, but RVP couldn't direct it goalwards.
- 81'
Not for long, and Arsenal are on the break. Santos and Walcott on the left wing.
- 80'
That's right, with ten minutes left the ball is in the corner.
