Wigan qualify for first ever English FA Cup final


Wigan Athletics became the first team to qualify for the final of the 2013 English FA Cup after beating Danny Shittu’s Millwall, 2-0, at the Wembley Stadium.
Goals from Shaun Maloney and Callum McManaman were enough to see the Lactics qualify for their first ever FA Cup.
Wigan will now meet the winner of Sunday’s second final between Chelsea and Manchester City.
Meanwhile, in the Premiership, Arsenal scored three goals in the last ten minutes to defeat Norwich and move closer to Champions League qualification for next season. The win puts Arsenal in third place on the log.
Norwich scored first in the 56th minute before goals from Mikel Arteta, Olivier Giroud, and Lukas Podolski earned the gunners a needed victory.
In other Premier League games, Everton beat QPR 2-0; thus virtually confirming QPR’s relegation. Reading played 0-0 with Liverpool, Aston Villa drew 1-1 with Fulham, while Southampton and West Ham also drew 1-1.
