Arsenal now level with Tottenham and Chelsea with 22 points. Norwich remain ninth.
- 90'
Arsenal have now won six of their last seven games. Norwich were far from poor, though, and will pick up points playing like that against stronger sides. Credit must go to Paul Lambert for his positive decisions in chasing the win instead of settling for damage limitation.

Foul again by Naughton. Arsenal free-kick. They'll surely wind the clock down.

Szczesny collects well. Lots of authority from the young goalkeeper.

...The Djorou's still out on young Theo, for some, but he's impressed today.

Free-kick to Norwich from shooting range. Holt goes down very easily after a slight nudge from Santos, Arsenal understandably annoyed. Nerves developing?

Benayoun with a lovely ball to Walcott. Arsenal playing some lovely football but can quite create a clear opening. Norwich very spirited indeed.

Arsenal now sitting back somewhat. Jackson with a long range effort but it's over.

Holt, troubling Mertesacker, commmits a foul when Norwich really could have threatened. A warning to Arsenal.

Arsenal playing the ball around nicely, particularly with Ramsey, Benayoun and Van Persie...even Szczesny had a trick.

Arsenal still probing for a third goal and what would be the winner. No signs of just keeping possession.

Walcott pass to Benayoun is wasted on the edge of the Norwich box.

Mertesacker, with an ugly hoof, gives the ball away.
