    An excerpt from the Guardian match report - "But as Wenger himself testified, part of the reason Arsenal were so blunt at Carrow Road was because of the efforts of Norwich, whose organisation in defence and resilience throughout the side made it hard to believe that they came into this contest with only three points from seven games and having lost their last two fixtures 5-2 and 4-1."

    Chris Hughton's men refused Arsenal space in dangerous areas and attacked with pace and conviction, getting their reward for a positive start after 19 minutes when Grant Holt pounced after Vito Mannone, the visiting goalkeeper, had failed to hold on to Alex Tettey's long-range shot.

    Also worth listening to the Talksport interview with Bryan Gunn - http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-n...hted-canaries-spirit-and-determination-183542

    makes a change to hear wenger being honest!

    good to hear. as someone mentioned on twitter after the game, the most pleasing thing about our win was that arsenal had absolutely nothing to moan about. no decisions went against them, nothing controversial to blame it on. we outplayed them, pure and simple.
