Mido's second Premiership goal for Wigan was shattered by Arsenal, who came back to beat the Latics 4-1 right after the Egyptian had left the pitch injured. Mido, who partnered Hugo Rodallega upfront, gave his team a first-half lead, but the visitors turned the scoreline via Theo Walcott, Mikael Silvestre, Andrei Arshavin and Alexander Song. The defeat dents Wigan's UEFA Cup hopes as they now lie ninth on 41 points. Arsenal are comfortably in fourth place with 61. Turning Point Mido scored the opener with a close-range volley that was difficult to handle for Arsenal keeper Lukasz Fabianski in the 17th minute. The 26-year-old was even close to double Wigan's lead shortly after the break, but his header was cleared off the line by Kieran Gibbs as the lively Mido was injured in the process.

Only three minutes after Mido's exit, Walcott equalized for Arsenal with a neat finish after he was sent through by Arshavin. Ten minutes later, the Gunners were in front, thanks to veteran center-half Silvestre, who tapped in Cesc Fabregas' low cross from point-blank range. One minute from time, Russian wizard Arshavin ensured the victory with a powerful shot, following a defensive blunder by Jason Koumas. In injury time, Cameroon midfielder Song concluded the victory for Arsenal with a wonderful solo effort. Mido's goal and injury
