Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists his side has what it takes to win the Premier League despite having fallen further behind leaders Manchester United.
United extended their lead at the top to five points with their 1-0 win over Bolton after the Gunners fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at West Brom.
Wenger’s men, who have played a game less than United, have not won a league match since beating Wolves over a month ago, but the Frenchman believes his side’s spirited comeback at The Hawthorns can boost the north Londoners’ title push.
“I am proud of the spirit we showed on Saturday,” said Wenger. “It shows we are ready for a fight.
“We made things difficult for ourselves with the second West Brom goal and we faced opponents, who were very well organised.”
He added: “As far as the title race is concerned, I felt that it would not be over whatever happened on Saturday.
“But for the team it was important not to lose. Considering what happened to us recently, you wonder how easy it would have been to recover if we had lost the game.
“Of course it’s frustrating to see us make mistakes but that’s the Premier League this season. It is the least predictable season since I have been in England so from now on it will be down to consistency and character.”
