Just saying...
My heart dropped when I saw that Dean would be reffing this crunch match. We win and we go one point above Spurs. Wigan loose and they're relegated just after sealing the FA Cup against Man City.
So when Dean blew for a weak foul after after Malony leans in to Arteta you could feel it wasn't good.
25 yards out and Malony rockets a curling and dipping ball in to the far corner. Szczesny's hand on the ball was no deterrent to the power and placement of the ball.
Podolski's first half header and Arsenal's early domination were cancelled out by the incompetent ref.
Going in to the second half it didn't look good. End to end stuff and with a disallowed offside effort saw Szczesny picking the ball out f the net for the second time.
But 3 goals in 8 minutes all on swift counter attacks added Walcott, Podolski (2nd) and Aaron Ramsay to the score sheet. 4-1 to the Arsenal!
All in all a very tense, hard-fought much needed win.
In fairness to Wigan the scoreline didn't reflect their effort. Arsenal definitely deserved to win this but it's a shame it's at Wigan's expense as the Northern club head down in to the English Championship.
Take that Spurs!
