Arsenal shattered by Wigan fightback

06:44 am on 19 April 2010

Arsenal crashed out of contention for the English premier league football title after Wigan Athletic staged a remarkable comeback to win at 3-2.

Arsenal were coasting at 2-nil up into the last 10 minutes, but Wigan snatched two goals in normal time and more in stoppage time to kill off Arsenal's faint championship hopes, and more or less secure Wigan's place in the premier league for another season.

Wigan had already beaten both Chelsea and Liverpool this season.
