Arsenal hopes killed by Wigan
Arsenal’s faint
hopes of winning the Premier League title, rekindled after Chelsea lost
on Saturday, were finally killed off when they conceded three late
goals to lose 3-2 at Wigan Athletic on Sunday.
Arsenal, with goals
from Theo Walcott and Mikael Silvestre, were coasting towards a 2-0
victory with 10 minutes left but crashed to a stunning defeat as goals
from Ben Watson, Titus Bramble and Charles N’Zogbia gave Wigan their
first league victory over Arsene Wenger’s side.
The result moved
Wigan on to 35 points, seven clear of Hull City, and virtually
guaranteed their Premier League survival for another season.
Arsenal, who would
have moved to within three points of leaders Chelsea with a win,
remained third on 71 points, six behind Chelsea and five behind
Manchester United with just three matches to play.
