Arsenal drew a line under recent controversies by recording a
straightforward Premier League victory against Wigan, helped by
Thomas Vermaelen's double.
Whether it has been Eduardo's diving row or being reunited with
Emmanuel Adebayor, Arsene Wenger's men have never been far away
from the headlines recently - and they were also beaten in their
previous two league matches.
What they needed was a regulation win, and Wigan's limited attacking
ambition at the Emirates Stadium meant they were perfect opponents.
The hosts could have racked up a huge score before half-time if
their finishing was clinical.
In the end it was down to Vermaelen to grab the limelight, with
the defender scoring his third and fourth goals of the season, the
first a powerful header and the second a delightful curling finish.
Emmanuel Eboue's deflection then made it 3-0 when the match was
effectively over, then Cesc Fabregas added another in stoppage time.
