In pictures - Wednesday night's Premier League action

After beating Chelsea on Sunday, Arsenal travelled to Wigan Athletic. But their mood was quickly soured when Ben Watson scored for the home side from the penalty spot in the 18th minute. Watson's chance came after Charles N'Zogbia had fallen to the floor in the penalty box, earning what replays showed was a dubious penalty Photograph: Lee Smith/Action Images Andrey Arshavin hit back with panache. His acrobatic volley found the bottom corner of the net in the 39th minute Photograph: Dave Thompson/PA ... Wigan's goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi was helpless Photograph: Nigel Roddis/Reuters Five minutes later, Arshavin supplied Nicklas Bendtner who, after a fortuitous first touch, side-footed the ball into the far corner – 2-1 Photograph: Dave Thompson/PA N'Zogbia earned himself a red card for butting Jack Wilshere with 12 minutes remaining. It was a tame head-butt, it must be said, but deserving of a red card nonetheless Photograph: Michael Steele/Getty Images Sixty seconds later, 10-man Wigan equalised. Arsenal's Sébastien Squillaci must take the discredit. In his bid to stop Gary Caldwell from having an unmissable header, he turned the ball into his own net. 2-2.

Worst was when, after six minutes, he was one-on-one with Wayne Hennessey and could not guide his shot beyond the keeper Photograph: John Powell/Liverpool FC via Getty Images Sylvan Ebanks-Blake applied pressure up front throughout the match, giving Liverpool's defenders a gruelling evening Photograph: Ed Sykes/Action Images In the 56th minute Stephen Ward gave the visitors the lead - and one which they deserved having dominated the opening exchanges of the second half. The goal was largely a product of calamitous defending from Skrtel and Sotirios Kyrgiakos, neither of whom cleared the danger Photograph: Ed Sykes/Action Images Fernando Torres squats on the field wondering how his side are losing yet again Photograph: Peter Byrne/PA It ended 1-0. That's Liverpool's eighth league defeat of the season and manager Roy Hodgson later admits it's the worst performance of his troubled reign Photograph: Peter Byrne/PA At Stamford Bridge Chelsea were looking to lift themselves back into the top four. They'd not won a league match since assistant coach Ray Wilkins was dismissed from the club on 11 November Photograph: Darren Walsh/Chelsea FC via Getty Images In a goalless first half Didier Drogba vents his displeasure Photograph: Nigel French/EMPICS Sport Florent Malouda and Paul Robinson tangle as the visitors continue to resist the home side's attacks Photograph: Carl De Souza/AFP/Getty Images At last some joy for Chelsea. Malouda slots home from close range after Michael Essien and Drogba slice through Bolton's defence. Appeals for offside are waved away Photograph: Nigel French/EMPICS Sport Malouda's face epitomised the relief felt through the club Photograph: Darren Walsh/Chelsea FC via Getty Images In defence, John Terry's valiant display kept Bolton out. Though he was perhaps fortunate not to concede a penalty when the ball struck his arm following one of several Bolton efforts on goal as the visitors rallied Photograph: Tom Hevezi/AP Fabrice Muamba prevents Chelsea from scoring again with a late goal-line clearance from Essien's header. 1-0 to Chelsea it ended ... Photograph: Darren Walsh/Chelsea FC via Getty Images ... which is funny because look who was back in the stands today - none other than Chelsea's lucky charm, Ray Wilkins.
