Relief and relegation at Emirates

Arsenal 4 Wigan Athletic 1

Two goals from Lukas Podolski, one from Theo Walcott and one from Aaron Ramsey are not quite enough to ensure Arsenal clinch Champions League qualification just yet; but they do mean that if Wenger’s side match Tottenham’s result on the final day of the Premier League campaign they will at the very least take fourth place.

Tottenham are home to Sunderland on Sunday while Arsenal travel to Newcastle, so after what has been at times a difficult season for Wenger’s side, there is every chance it will end with the same scenario that has greeted Gunners fans ever since 1996.
