Horse Poo Good For The Roses
Wigan arrive at The Emirates in good form looking to continue to pull away from the relegation places , Arsenal are hoping to consolidate third place and an automatic Champions League spot by keeping clear of Tottenham , Chelsea and Newcastle .
Arsenal look dangerous from the kick-off but fail to convert their early chances . Arteta picks up an injury whist Wigan continue , moving the ball forward to Moses who's electric pace and superb ball control creates an opening and a shock opening goal by Di-Santo . Wigan's tiny following contingent are absolutely ecstatic . In the eight minute Gomez scrambles the ball in from close range . Wigan have created two chances and scored two goals in rapid succession . The Arsenal fans are in disbelief but rally and get behind thier team only to be frustrated even more when The Latics go close again . The misery for The Gunners is compounded by several near misses and poor finishing by their beloved team . Wigan have shown its no fluke with recent winning results agaist some top sides .
Wigan still leading 2-0
Arsenal create more chances and Vermaelen heads home to reduce the arrears .
Half-Time 2-1 to Wigan
The second half sees The Gunners pressing for an equaliser but Moses breaks away for The Latics and hits a tame shot at goal . For once its a let off for Arsenal as Wigan have been ruthless until now . Wigan hold on to take three valuable points and send their fans back to the North West ' happy as Larry ! '
Strange - Live near Wigan but don't attend Wigan home games - was unable to obtain a ticket from Wigan Athletic but got 2 tickets in the Clock End from the Arsenal website delivered to my address , no problem . That's segregation for you ! And ......£7 extra each ticket ( Wigan section £34 )
Home fans and staff were terrific - very friendly .
