This game was on the back off Arsenal recent three nil loss to Everton. So Arsenal played in a very cautious approach and where worried about conceding.
However once Wigan went one nil up all of the sudden Arsenal's previous cautious attitude went out of the window and they became a lot more of an attacking force.
This approach helped Arsenal to get the equaliser but it took the penalty shoot out of them to go through.
Wigan played well and they did all they could to win the game but they came up short in the penalty shoot out. When their first two penalty shots where saved by Lukas Fabianski.
Arsene Wenger will be a very relieved manager and he knew that if he lost this game that would have probably been the end of his time as an Arsenal Manager.
He started off playing with a much more attacking team and even put Olivier Giroud on the bench. He brought on Giroud as a sub and he was much more effective.
So Arsenal are through and they will play Hull City who beat Sheffield United by three goals to two to make it to the final.
