(CNN) -- Defending champions Chelsea secured their first win in seven league games to beat Bolton 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.
A goal on the hour mark by Florent Malouda ended Chelsea's dire run and lifted them back into fourth in the English Premier League, but they trail leaders Manchester United by four points, having played a game more.
Arsenal, who beat Chelsea 3-1 on Monday night, missed the chance to go level on points with United as they were held 2-2 at lowly Wigan.
Ben Watson put the home side ahead from the penalty spot after 18 minutes, but two goals in six minutes near the end of the first half from Arsenal's Andrey Arshavin and Nicklas Bendtner saw the Gunners 2-1 up at the DW Stadium.
Wigan looked headed for defeat when Charles N'Zogbia was sent-off in the 78th minute for leaning his head into Arsenal substitute Jack Wilshere. CNN
