Third not out of sight for Arsene

Manager Arsene Wenger maintains Arsenal now have a third-place finish in their sights after relegating FA Cup winners Wigan with a 4-1 win at the Emirates Stadium – but his side could yet end up in a play-off with Chelsea for automatic Champions League qualification.

Lukas Podolski nodded the Gunners in front on 11 minutes last night, only for Shaun Maloney to give the visitors hope when he crashed home a free-kick on the stroke of half-time.
