Nigel Winterburn believes Arsenal have much greater strength of character than in seasons gone past and that could be the key to their title challenge. The Gunners defeated Premier League leaders Leicester 2-1 on Sunday, with Danny Welbeck scoring a stoppage-time winner on his return from injury to move two points behind the Foxes. Arsene Wenger admitted afterwards it was a game Arsenal had to win and Winterburn feels the character they showed to grind out the victory demonstrated their title credentials. Welbeck snatches win Danny Welbecks late strike downed 10-man Leicester This is a different Arsenal to seasons before, Winterburn said, speaking on Sky Sports Now. Yes, they had their little blips. A few weeks ago they went top and didnt win for four games.But they are showing when they need to deliver a performance, usually Arsene Wenger gets that from his team. It shows that there is a big togetherness within the squad. It was absolutely massive for Arsenal to win the game. Welbeck scored this dramatic 95th minute winner against Leicester Everybody was saying before this game that Arsenal had to win and you heard from Arsene Wenger after saying that a draw wasnt good enough.Now they are right back in it along with Tottenham as well. You could now see that the leaders keep flip-flopping each week as the games go ahead. Theo Walcott celebrates his equaliser against Leicester Welbecks winning goal came in his first substitute appearance after being sidelined for ten months with a knee injury.Earlier in the game, Theo Walcott cancelled out Jamie Vardys opener after coming off the bench and Winterburn believes that strength in depth could make the difference for Arsenal over the final 12 games of the season. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was delighted with the victory on Sunday The one thing I have said about Arsenal over recent weeks - the disappointing thing for me - is they didnt have the quality depth coming off the bench, Winterburn said.When I saw the team sheet and saw the substitutes this weekend, it was the first time I thought a game could be changed by Arsenal with everybody coming off the bench - and it proved to be decisive with Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck scoring.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Ben McAdoos honeymoon with the New York Giants is over.After getting off to a 2-0 start, the rookie coach has seen his team lose three straight games and fall into last place in the NFC East.The offense is having trouble scoring. Eli Manning seems a little off. The line has been inconsistent and the dynamic receiving trio of Odell Beckham Jr., Victor Cruz and Sterling Shepard are not producing as expected.Thats only half the problem.The Giants invested a ton of money in the defense in the offseason and the returns are not matching the investment after five games.While Steve Spagnuolos unit produced its first two turnovers in Sundays nights 23-16 loss to the Packers in Green Bay, the highly touted defensive line has not applied pressure to opposing quarterbacks this season.Injuries took a toll on the secondary in road games at Minnesota and Green Bay, and there have been plenty of missed tackles.I think when you face two tough road games like weve had, two tough opponents, I think we need to regroup, we need surrender our ego, stay together and work to win this week, McAdoo said Monday.When the penalties, turnovers and mistakes on both sides of the ball are added, it makes for a losing record and some disgruntled followers, who entered the season believing that McAdoo had the talent to end New Yorks four-year playoff drought.However, the Giants problems go beyond football.The first five weeks also been dominated by Beckhams tantrums on the field and the sideline. He was on his best behavior in Green Bay.Left tackle Ereck Flowers, however, was not. The 2015 first-round draft pick put his hands on ESPN reporter Jordan Raanan in the locker room after the game.Flowers was talking to two reporters and Raanan walked over to interview him. Flowers did not want to speak to him and told him a couple of times to leave. Raanan replied a couple of times that he was just doing his job and wanted to stay.Flowers eventually either shoved or pushed the reporter.McAdoo, general manager Jerry Reese and the teams public relations department all met with Flowers on Monday. Flowers also apologized to Raanan, McAdoo said.He understands that he cannot behave that way, McAdoo said. Its unacceptable, and its important for us to all have a pprofessional relationship with the media, players and coaches.ddddddddddddRaanan did not return a telephone message left by The Associated Press seeking comment.McAdoo refused to say whether Flowers would be disciplined, noting that would be handled in house. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in an email to the AP that the team was handling the incident.The Giants will return home this weekend to play the Baltimore Ravens (3-2).When you face two tough road games like weve had, against tough opponents, I think we need to regroup, we need to surrender our egos together and work to win this week, McAdoo said.The Giants have a lot to fix. Manning has thrown five touchdowns and four interceptions this season. He has had two games without a TD pass. He missed a certain scoring pass late in the first half Sunday night when he overthrew wide-open tight end Will Tye with New York trailing 14-6.When asked if Manning was hurt, McAdoo said that he knew of no injury.The running game has suffered with Rashad Jennings missing the last three games with a hand injury and Shane Vereen out for the year with a torn triceps. Orleans Darkwa has started the last two and he was held to 11 yards on seven carries by the Packers.The receivers also struggled. Beckham had five receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown. Cruz did not catch either of the two passes thrown his way, and Shepard had season-low totals of two receptions for 14 yards.Its not good, at least compared to last year.After five games in 2015, New York was 3-2, had scored 132 points and given up 109 in Tom Coughlins final season. This year, New York is 2-3, has 89 points and surrendered 108.Honeymoon over.Game notes McAdoo said CBs Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (groin) and Eli Apple (groin) would either not practice or be limited early this week. ... WR/Returner Dwayne Harris sprained a big toe against the Packers. ... When asked if veteran T Will Beatty would be given a shot at playing with fellow tackles Flowers and Bobby Hart having problems, McAdoo said every lineman gets a chance to push for a job every week.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
