- 95'
It's all over! What a win for Wigan! 2-0 down after 80 minutes and they've won 3-2! Arsenal's season is over, and Wigan should now be safe, on 35 points.
- 94'
Arsenal's players look crushed and well they might, they had the game sewn up and they've thrown it away in pitiful fashion. Fabianski has got to go.
- 93'
Wigan change, Watson off and Scharner on.
- 92'
That goal has killed Arsenal's faint title hopes stone dead, and pretty much helped keep Wigan up. An incredible comeback.
- 91'
What a turnaround! Rodallega somehow gets onto a long punt downfield before finding N'Zogbia who cuts in and lashes a shot in off the post! Three goals in ten minutes!
- 91'
GOAL! N'Zogbia!

- 90'
Here comes Van Persie, for Eastmund.
- 89'
A horror show from Fabianski - he's been shaky all day and he made a mess of that. He tried to catch the ball and drops it onto Bramble's head, and the ball falls over the line before Clichy can clear. Dodgy keeper indeed.
- 89'
GOAL! Bramble!
- 88'
Off the line! Watson gets up to glance a header past Fabianski but Nasri clears on the line!
- 87'
The ball in from Watson is a good one and Silvestre's header takes it behind for a corner.
- 86'
Nasri looks disgusted as the ref gives a goal kick and not a corner after his challene with Gohouri. Now Wigan win a free kick on the left flank as Sagna fells Moses.
- 85'
Nopw N'Zogbia shakes off Silvestre but can't pick out a blue shirt in the box as Fabianski covers his near post well.
- 83'
Wigan are pressing now and the crowd are interested again. It could be an interesting final six minutes.
- 82'
A great run from Moses, who has grown in confidence after his part in the goal. He skips round Clichy but is halted by Campbell.
- 81'
Arsenal changes: Rosicky and Walcott off, Merida and Eboue on.
- 80'
A nice move as McCarthy found N'Zogbia, he danced into space and fed Moses out wide and his cross is met with a strong sidefoot from Watson. Game on.
- 80'
GOAL! Watson! A lifeline!
- 78'
Titus Bramble strolls forward and has a pop but drags it wide. Ambitious, to say the least.
- 77'
Nasri collects a poor pass from Thomas and looks gfor Bendtner but his ball had too much juice on it and the Dane can't get there.
- 76'
Gohouri's error nearly lets in Bendtner but Kirkland is out to grab it.
- 75'
Still no sign of Robin van Persie. Maybe Wenger will keep him fresh as he is enjoying a two-goal lead.
- 73'
Watson spins in a free kick from the right and Bramble lurks but Bendtner clears with a good header.
