Gunners get back to business

19 September 2009 17:21
Arsenal drew a line under recent controversies by recording a 4-0 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.
