Arsenal 3 - Wigan 0
Robin van Persie scored all three Arsenal goals - the second on a volley from a sublime Cesc Fabregas pass over the heads of the Wigan defense - in a walk in the park for the Gunners. In truth, van Persie should have scored at least four and possibly five as he missed a penalty (earned by Fabregas), hit the post with a shot, and missed a couple of other good chances. The Gunners created enough chances that their final goal tally easily could have been doubled. The defense looked solid throughout the match, though in truth Wigan didn't pose much of an offensive threat. Arsenal goalie Wojciech Szczesny hardly touched the ball in the first half, and I'm not sure he was forced into making a real save throughout the match. All in all, despite the numerous missed opportunities, a very comfortable win at home.
