Arsenal 1 - Norwich 1: Gunners suffer more injury woe as Canaries battle back

ARSENAL'S dismal November continued with a disappointing 1-1 with Norwich at Carrow Road.

 

The Gunners suffered an early blow when Laurent Koscielny was forced off with a hip problem early on.

But after dominating possession for the first 30 minutes, they took the lead when Alexis Sanchez slipped a pass through the Norwich defence and Mesut Ozil deftly clipped the ball over the onrushing John Ruddy.

However Norwich got themselves level when Robbie Brady through ball cut through Arsenal's defence and found Lewis Grabban, who held off Gabriel and calmly finished past Petr Cech.

And the nearly took the lead before the break but Wes Hoolahan side footed Jonny Howson's low cross over the bar with the goal gaping.

Arsenal then suffered another major injury blow when Alexis Sanchez went off with a hamstring problem.

Despite their superior quality, Arsenal were not able to create clear cut chances and it was Norwich who looked the more dangerous on the counter attack.

Arsene Wenger's side end the month with just two points from a possible nine.
