Wigan became the first team to be relegated and win the FA Cup in the same season after a 4-1 loss at Arsenal on Tuesday ended their eight-year stay in the English Premier League.
Arsenal are now primed to qualify for the Champions League for the 16th season in a row after reclaiming fourth place with one round remaining.
Wigan, weary from Saturday's first cup win, briefly posed a threat when Shaun Maloney cancelled out Lukas Podolski's opener just before halftime from a free kick.
But a powerful start to the second half yielded nothing for Wigan before Arsenal's ruthlessness produced three goals in nine minutes.
