Welcome to coverage of the Premier League game between Arsenal and Wigan Athletic at the Emirates Stadium.

Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).

FULL-TIME Robin van Persie scores a hat-trick as Arsenal go second in the Premier League with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Wigan Athletic at the Emirates Stadium.

Walcott forces Arsenal’s eighth corner.

Three minutes of added time.

David Beckham has left the building!

Walcott smashes a shot from the right high into the crowd.

Wigan face a battle for survival this season - their only victory in the last nine was 2-1 at Wolves on Boxing Day.

And Denilson is on for Fabregas.

Van Persie leaves to a standing ovation and is replaced by Marouane Chamakh.

GOAL ARSENAL!! Van Persie does get his hat-trick as Wigan are caught square again. Walcott holds off Figueroa and the Dutch striker sweeps the ball into the net from close range.

Interestingly Arsenal are the only club who are yet to concede a Premier League goal in 2011.

Song drives wide from 20 yards.

Arsenal have kept three consecutive Premier League clean sheets for the first time since a four-match streak in February 2009. They must stay alert if they are to match that run.

Di Santo is perilously close to latching onto a through ball in the penalty area.

That smacks of damage limitation from Martinez as he brings on a defender for his most creative player.

Final change for Wigan as N’Zogbia is replaced by Emmerson Boyce.

Cries of shoot from the crowd every time Song gets the ball in a threatening area but the midfielder slips in the box.

Having said that Arshavin has provided nine Premier League assists this season – equal-most in the division with Manchester United’s Nani.

Arshavin has scored in each of his two league appearances against Wigan but is not in great form and had a bit of a shocker up at Leeds in midweek.

Andrey Arshavin replaces Nasri.
