Thomas Vermaelen scored twice for the Gunners, as Arsenal rebounded today from last weekend’s loss to Manchester City with a decisive 4-0 win over Wigan Athletic--which just sounds like a perfect candidate for relegation, no? In a game where the Gunners had plenty of chances, it appears the outcome was never in doubt, and the only question was how severe the beating would be. In the end, the two goals from Vermaelen were augmented by Emmanuel Eboue, and a late goal from superstar Cesc Fabregas.
