Wigan became a brilliant team at the end of this season. After a previous win against Liverpool at Anfield 2-1, 1-0 win against Manchester United and was defeated only from the controversial goal by Chelsea, Arsenal now have to feel the greatness of the Latics at the Emirates. In the spirit of avoiding relegation, Wigan game increased rapidly at the end of the season and beat the big teams of English Premier League.
Based on data from the BBC, only this time there is another team that can beat Manchester United and Arsenal in a row, after Southampton did it in 2001,
Arsenal actually play a very dominant in this match. From the ball possession looked very dominant by 64 percent and make 23 shots and 4 shots on goal. But these statistics become meaningless when the 2 quick goals The Latics with an interval of one minute through Franco Di Santo and Jordi Gomez could only reply with a goal from Thomas Vermaelen.
If arsenal played very aggressive and dominant in the ball possession, Wigan otherwise, played more defensively and effective, relying on a quick counterattack. But counter attacks from the Roberto Martinez's squad is also quite a lot of threatening arsenal, with 7 shots on target from the total of 15 shots.
Here the details statistics :
And here the highlight from the match :
Arsenal really unlucky in this game. There are many opportunities in the second half but could not be converted into goals by emirates force.Arsenal suffered defeat from the Wigan Athletic at the Emirates Stadium became increasingly painful because Mikel Arteta suffered a serious ankle injury. Arteta had to leave the game in 8th minutes because of injury and was replaced by Aaron Ramsey. Arteta injury is bad news for Arsenal because this weekend will play in London Derby against Chelsea, that are in a good performance, after beating Spurs 5-1 in FA Cup event last week.
So, Wake Up Gunners!!!
