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.

NEW YORK -- Russell Westbrook doesnt just do triple-doubles in games anymore.Now hes got one for the entire season.Westbrook raised his averages to 30.9 points, 11.3 assists and 10.3 rebounds through more than a month of play with his NBA-leading eighth triple-double as the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the New York Knicks 112-103 on Monday night.Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson is the only NBA player to average a triple-double for a season, so Westbrook was asked if his current pace is sustainable.Winning is sustainable, he said. Thats all I know, man, and my job is to make sure we go out and find the best way to win games and right now weve won three straight and thats the most important part for me.Westbrook had his third straight triple-double and the 45th of his career and nearly did it by halftime, finishing with 27 points, 18 rebounds and 14 assists. He had 14 points, 10 boards and nine assists at the break.He is going to put up numbers because of his ability and just how hard he plays and his gifts, but hes doing a lot of other things that the stat sheet doesnt measure, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. I know everybody is focused on that right now and rightfully so. Its historic what hes doing. But hes really a complete point guard all the way around.Enes Kanter added a season-high 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, while Steven Adams had 14 points and 10 boards as the Thunder outrebounded the Knicks 53-40.We got manhandled. Thats tough, Knicks center Joakim Noah said. Russ definitely puts a lot of pressure on the bigs when hes going downhill like that. At the end of the day its always tough knowing that we lost the game on the glass.Derrick Rose scored a season-best 30 points, but the Knicks had their six-game home winning streak snapped. Kristaps Porzingis added 21 points and Carmelo Anthony had 18, but shot just 4 for 19.Westbrook fell just shy of his third straight 15-assist game, but had his highest rebound total of the season -- and one off his career best -- to keep the Thunder rolling after a recent three-game skid.The Knicks led by 11 in the first quarter and things were coming easily, but the Thunder began to grab control with Westtbrooks hustle and Kanters muscle, getting numerous baskets inside to turn around the game.dddddddddddd.It happened so quickly that Westbrook nearly had the stat sheet stuffed before the break.Joffrey Lauvergne missed a 3-pointer that wouldve given Westbrook a 10th assist with 32 seconds left in the half, but the point guard who was MVP of the All-Star Game on this floor two years ago had a shot at the halftime triple-double after grabbing his 10th rebound on the defensive end with a little more than 20 seconds left. He brought the ball up and tried to create, but turned it over on a pass with about 5 seconds to go.TIP-INSThunder: They are 11-5 against the Knicks since moving to Oklahoma City in 2008. ... Donovan grew up in New York and played one season for the Knicks in 1987-88.Knicks: Coach Jeff Hornacek said reserve F Lance Thomas, who hasnt played since Nov. 12 because of a left ankle injury, has been working on the exercise bike and shooting and could be back at practice soon, though there is no timetable for his return to games.STRANGE SCHEDULEThe Thunder are in the midst of a five-game stretch in which they wont play consecutive games in the same time zone. They came to New York for essentially a one-game road trip in between home games Saturday and Wednesday.HE KNOWS NOAHNoah hasnt made a huge impact yet in his first season with the Knicks, but his college coach thinks he will. Donovan, who coached Florida to back-to-back national championships when Noah played there, said the center has incredible heart and praised him as a team leader who cares only about winning.Hes going to put his work in, but hes one of those guys in my opinion thats just truly all about sacrifice, team and winning, Donovan said. So I think hell bring that to the Knicks throughout the entire season.UP NEXTThunder: Host Washington on Wednesday, their first game against former Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks.Knicks: Visit Minnesota on Wednesday to start another home-and-home set, with the return game at Madison Square Garden on Friday.
