Wigan Athletic vs Arsenal, 0-4: Full time analysis and player ratings

Arsenal eased past Wigan thanks to a great all round performance from the Gunners that saw Mikel Arteta, Thomas Vermaelen, Gervinho and Robin Van Persie score in a DW Stadium thrashing.This fixture has a tendency to do funny things to goalkeepers. Two seasons ago it was Arsenal's Lukasz Fabianski whose 90th-minute blunder stripped Arsenal of resurrected title chances, and Arsène Wenger of his suit jacket. This time it was Wigan's Ali Al-Habsi with the error-strewn display.Arsenal eased past Wigan Athletic as they get all three points and continue their unbeaten run, in the English Premier League.

In a way, we expected it to be easy considering the position in the table Wigan occupy but at the same time it was maybe easier than anyone would have expected before the game.

Make no mistake, in the initial part of the game I was a little bit concerned with what was going on back there in the defensive department, especially on the wings as both Laurent Koscielny and Andre Santos made mistakes that other teams would have maybe punished us for but after we settled down it was smooth sailing as we registered our eight win in the Premier League and move up to 5th in the table.

Incidentally, I cannot remember the last time we scored two goals in the first half of a game so this win not only allows us to continue our unbeaten run in the domestic league but it will surely inject more confidence in our players.
