Fighting Premier League Relegation, Wigan Routs Newcastle Wigan throttled Newcastle, 4-0, on Saturday for another remarkable victory in its attempt to avoid relegation from the Premier League, severely denting its opponent's chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League. With the fight for the title not resuming until the leader Manchester United makes the short trip to second-place Manchester City on Monday, much of Saturday's action centered on the teams fighting to stay in the lucrative Premier League. Newcastle had won six straight matches to move into fourth place, but host Wigan, which looked certain to be relegated just over a month ago, followed recent wins over Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal with four first-half goals. Wigan is now 3 points clear of the three-team relegation zone. Bolton remained in 18th place despite rallying for a 2-2 draw at Sunderland, while Aston Villa was still in danger after a scoreless draw at West Bromwich Albion. At the other end of the table, Robin van Persie scored his 28th league goal of the season to earn third-place Arsenal a 1-1 draw at Stoke. Wigan was still last in the standings on March 17 after just one win in 14 Premier League matches but kept faith with its passing, attacking game and is now one of the division's in-form teams. Victor Moses headed Wigan into the lead in the 13th minute and made it 2-0 two minutes later after Magpies defender Fabricio Coloccini failed to clear the ball and left his opponent with a simple finish from a loose ball. Shaun Maloney rounded off a team move with a finish from a tight angle on the left, and Franco Di Santo struck a fourth goal in first-half injury time with a curling shot from outside the area. Wigan now has 37 points with two games remaining, three more than Queens Park Rangers and Bolton. Wigan is tied with Aston Villa. Villa needed a late save from goalkeeper Shay Given to earn a valuable point in its draw at West Brom. Last-place Wolverhampton Wanderers fought back from a 4-1 deficit to earn a 4-4 draw at Swansea. Kevin Davies earned Bolton a point at Sunderland with his second goal of the game. Queens Park Rangers plays Sunday at Chelsea. Blackburn, at the other side of the relegation zone, is at Tottenham in Sunday's other game. Nikica Jelavic scored twice as Everton scored four for the third straight league game to beat Fulham, 4-0. Southampton was promoted as a 4-0 win over Coventry sealed its return to England's top flight after a seven-year absence. Southampton scored twice in each half to clinch a second straight promotion and finish as runner-up to Reading in the second-tier League Championship. "We've put a lot of hard work in and a lot of hours and we've achieved something special this season," Southampton Manager Nigel Adkins said. "Everyone works so hard at this football club and it's great to see the smiles and delight on the supporters" faces." West Ham finished third despite a 2-1 win over Hull and will enter the playoffs with Blackpool, Birmingham and Cardiff. SCHALKE CLINCHES The Bundesliga's top scorer, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, delivered his 26th and 27th goals as Schalke secured automatic qualification for next season's Champions League with a 4-0 win over Hertha Berlin. Freiburg's 4-1 win over Cologne saved Hertha from automatic relegation for now. Hertha is 2 points behind Cologne in the relegation playoff place heading to the final weekend's games. Augsburg and Hamburger SV are safe after scoreless draws at Borussia Moenchengladbach and at home against Mainz. Borussia Dortmund, which clinched the title last weekend, celebrated with a 5-2 win at already-relegated Kaiserslautern, extending its record unbeaten run to 27 games. Second-place Bayern Munich defeated Stuttgart, 2-0, allowing Bayer Leverkusen to move into fifth with a 1-0 win over Hannover. Wolfsburg boosted its Europa League hopes with a 3-1 win over Werder Bremen, and Nuremberg won, 3-2, at Hoffenheim. CHELSEA ACQUIRING MARIN Chelsea struck a deal to sign Germany midfielder Marko Marin from Werder Bremen at the end of the season. Chelsea said that it had agreed to a fee for Marin and that Marin had agreed to personal terms. Chelsea did not say how much it would pay for Marin. Bremen paid its Bundesliga rival Borussia Moenchengladbach about $10.6 million for him in 2009. Marin, a 23-year-old playmaker, was born in the former Yugoslavia but has played 16 times for Germany, including two substitute appearances at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. He was an Eintracht Frankfurt youth player before switching to Moenchengladbach at 16. He made his Bundesliga debut in 2007. Marin has scored 12 goals in 124 Bundesliga appearances.
