Emmanuel Adebayor believes Arsenal's 2-0 victory at West
Ham on Sunday has put them back in the title race.
Adebayor came off the bench to turn the game at Upton Park in
Arsenal's favour, as his shot was put into the West Ham net by
Julien Faubert before he notched another in injury time.
The Gunners lie just four points adrift of leaders Liverpool
and, just as crucially for them, only one point behind Chelsea and
four ahead of Manchester United.
"We're back in the title race," Adebayor told The Mirror. "We
believe we can win the title but we have to win games like
this.
"We had something to prove, to come to Upton Park and win.
"We knew it was going to be very difficult. It was and we were
getting frustrated.
"But now we must focus on the derby versus Spurs."
With Harry Redknapp now installed at White Hart Lane, Arsene
Wenger knows they face a tough task next and impressed upon his
team the need to stay consistent throughout the season.
"One week ago everyone made Chelsea super-favourites, now it is
Liverpool," Wenger said. "Things change very quickly, which is why
it makes it very interesting
"We were very close last year and with 83 points, many times you
would have been champions.
"However, Manchester United had a fantastic second half of the
season, we dropped a little bit of our quality and that is it - I
still feel any weakness will be punished."
