It was a sad day for the Wigan Athletic yesterday as their eight-season tenure in the Premier League came to an end when they were beaten by the Gunners 4-1.
The Gunners were firing goal vollies one after the other agisnt the lone goal by the Wigan in 45th minute.
Realistically Wigan had to win to keep their survival hopes alive.
Arsenal are now fourth - a point ahead of Tottenham with one game to go and the Gunners know a win at Newcastle on Sunday will guarantee a place in next season's Champions League.
Wigan's defeat also means that Sunderland and Aston Villa can now also rest easy heading into the final weekend.
