Half-Time Report: Wigan Athletic, Arsenal goalless at the break

Wigan and Arsenal are goalless at the break in today's Premier League encounter at the DW Stadium.

Wigan Athletic and Arsenal have both failed to break the deadlock in this afternoon's Premier League encounter at the DW Stadium.

The visitors started the stronger and they came close to opening the scoring in the ninth minute when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's effort was pushed around the post by Ali Al-Habsi.

The Latics goalkeeper was called into action again soon after as he kept out Lukas Podolski's dipping drive.

Despite Arsenal's dominance, Wigan had a glorious chance to go in front midway through the first period, but Arouna Kone scuffed his shot wide with just Wojciech Szczesny to beat.

The home side finished the half in the ascendancy, but a lack of composure in the final third saw the score remain goalless.
