Barclays Premier League results

Hre are the results of Tuesday's Premier League games which could decide the table:
Reading 0-2 Man City.

Manchester City started the post-Roberto Mancini era with a dominant win at Reading to secure second place in the Premier League.
Brian Kidd was tasked with lifting City following Mancini's departure and he oversaw a fine display by the visitors.
Sergio Aguero opened the scoring in the first half, despatching a low effort into the corner.
Substitute Edin Dzeko sealed victory late on, latching on to David Silva's ball to score from close range.
The margin of victory could have been greater but for a number of fine saves from Reading goalkeeper Alex McCarthy.
The hosts had a couple of chances themselves, with Adrian Mariappa's header cleared off the line by Carlos Tevez, while Joe Hart saved well from Jem Karacan, but ultimately they could have few complaints with the scoreline.

Arsenal 4-1 Wigan.


Wigan's eight-season tenure in the Premier League came to an end as they were hammered at Arsenal, who moved back into the Champions League places.
Lukas Podolski headed the Gunners in front early on before Shaun Maloney's free-kick levelled the game.
Realistically Wigan had to win to keep their survival hopes alive.
But Theo Walcott's low strike, a lobbed second from Podolski and Aaron Ramsey's angled strike ensured Wigan will be playing in the Championship next term.
Arsenal are now fourth - a point ahead of Tottenham with one game to go and the Gunners know a win at Newcastle on Sunday will guarantee a place in next season's Champions League.
Wigan's defeat also means that Sunderland and Aston Villa can now also rest easy heading into the final weekend.
