Arsenal boss Wenger: Middlesbrough gave us lift

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits Middlesbrough have given them a title boost after holding Manchester United to a 2-2 draw on Sunday.

The Arsenal manager insisted: "I still believe we will finish champions in the Premier League. The result (at Middlesbrough) helped a lot.

"If they had won, I would have thought we could not (win the league) but, now, I still believe we'll do it."

Wenger continued: "We did have a dip recently, it's true. We can't deny that. But football is strange sometimes.

"It is possible we can win the last five games. Of course, I said that before the Liverpool game as well, but I said five games and one draw would make it.

"It is compulsory that we win at Old Trafford if we want to win the championship."
