Wigan Beats Arsenal 2-1 To Boost Survival Hopes

Wigan backed up its shock victory over Manchester United by beating another Premier League giant on Monday, winning 2-1 at third-place Arsenal to boost its hopes of staving off relegation.

Arsenal was looking for a victory that would have put the team eight points clear in third but never recovered from sloppily conceding goals to Franco di Santo and Jordi Gomez in the first eight minutes.

Thomas Vermaelen halved the deficit in the 21st but the visitors held on quite comfortably in the end to record yet another superb victory in their battle to stay up, moving them five points clear of the relegation zone with four matches left.
