Aaron Ramsey says Arsenal are happy to have salvaged a point against Spurs
Sunday 6 March 2016 14:45, UK
Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey says there is no question that the Gunners squad has the hunger necessary for the title fight.
And the Wales international hopes Saturday's gutsy 2-2 draw at Spurs could prove the catalyst for a renewed tilt at Premier League glory.
The north London giants came in for criticism this week, having fallen off the pace in the title race following defeats at Manchester United and at home to Stoke.
And another loss looked in the offing when a 10-man Arsenal side fell 2-1 behind to neighbours Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
But, despite their numerical disadvantage, the Gunners managed to salvage an equaliser, and the draw keeps them just about in the title race, eight points behind leaders Leicester.

Asked if the fightback proved how hungry the players were for a title, Ramsey said: "I think so.
"We'll keep giving everything until the final game of the season is over.
"I think we needed a performance like that after the couple of defeats that we've had. We needed to come here and get something and we managed to do that with 10 men.
"We would have liked to have won the game but it was important just to get a result.
"We've had two defeats, so we're happy to come away with a point in the end, considering the circumstances."
Ramsey put Arsenal ahead in the first half and Alexis Sanchez popped up with the equaliser 15 minutes from time, his first Premier League goal since October.
And Ramsey says the likes of himself and Sanchez need to chip in regularly over the remaining games if Arsenal are to finish the season as champions for the first time in 12 years.
"I thought in the first half we did well, but they came out in the second half and got the two goals in quick succession," he said.
"We were under the cosh a bit but we carried on and got the equaliser.
"Hopefully him (Sanchez) and myself can chip in with a few more goals towards the end of the season and finish off strongly."
