arsenal entered a crucial period of the season with a game against newly relegated queens park rangers, as tottenham and chelsea would play their game in hand against each other, leaving a straight battle to the top four champions league qualification spots. walcott again got the gunners off to the perfect start with the fastest goal in the premier league season so far, as well as the 12th fastest goal in premier league history, after he put the gunners ahead after 20 seconds. the game petered out, however, but it increased arsenal's unbeaten run to 8 games, as the gunners ran out 1–0 winners. arsenal had a ten-day before their final home game of the season against newly crowned fa cup winners wigan in what proved to be a crucial game at both ends of the premier league table. the game was won 4–1 by the gunners, after goals from podolski (2), walcott and aaron ramsey cancelled out shaun maloney's free-kick strike. wigan were subsequently relegated after an eight-year stay in the premier league, whilst arsenal left their top four faith in their own hands by staying one point above rivals tottenham. although the result also presented an opportunity for an unprecedented "third place play-off", this was not needed following a chelsea win over everton, however arsenal secured fourth spot as a 1–0 win over newcastle (scored by laurent koscielny) meant arsenal finished the season on 73 points, three more than the previous season and one more above rivals tottenham. arsenal thus qualified for the 2013–14 uefa champions league.
