Gunners' confidence growing

LONDON - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger expressed hope Sunday's 2-2 draw with Manchester City represents a turning point after an extremely testing period in the club's recent history.

Criticism of Wenger from angry fans escalated during a run of four losses in five Premier League games that saw the Gunners slide out of the top four.

But while uncertainty about his future continues to linger, he hopes the gritty effort against City will help the team move on.
