  6. 'All sorted with Lewis'published at 18:36

    Norwich 1-1 Arsenal

    More from Norwich manager Alex Neil: "There had been a few instances with Lewis (Grabban) and things were not quite the way they should have been but they are resolved and fixed. 

    "Today he showed what a player he can be."

  7. 'Sanchez said he was OK to play'published at 18:34

    Norwich 1-1 Arsenal

    More from Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, speaking to Sky Sports: "Of course we are concerned but you go though spells like this in the season. We were a bit below par today but at least we didn't lose.

    "Santi Cazorla finished on one leg, he has a knee problem, Alexis Sanchez has a thigh problem and Laurent Koscielny has a hip problem. 

    "I would have rested Sanchez today but he said to me before the game he was fine to play."

  8. 'Bright future ahead'published at 18:32

    Norwich 1-1 Arsenal

    Norwich goalscorer Lewis Grabban: "After being out for so long it is nice to get a goal. It was nice the manager put me back in and I could do well for him and the team.

    "It has been a frustrating time but that is in the past and hopefully I will have a bright future."

  9. 'We were jaded'published at 18:27

    Norwich 1-1 Arsenal

    Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, speaking to BBC Sport: "In the second-half Norwich had good chances and we were playing against a team that is physically clever, they defender deep to catch us on the counter attack and we were a bit jaded, not as sharp as usual."

    "We lost Alexis Sanchez, I do not know how long he will be out but it is a big blow. Cazorla finished on one leg, Koscielny we will have to assess tomorrow.

    "Sanchez was an important loss today, he pushes defenders back and always is incisive with his dribbling.

    "The quality of the performance was below what we can do offensively."

  10. 'I thought we had self-destructed'published at 18:25 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2015

    Norwich 1-1 Arsenal

    Norwich City manager Alex Neil, speaking to Sky Sports: "We conceded the first goal and at that point I thought we had pressed the self-destruct button, but we showed great character to get back into the game.

    "In the second half we started a bit slow and invited Arsenal onto us, but as the half wore on I thought we were the better team.

    "Getting the balance right for us was important. At the start of the season we played well but weren't’ solid enough. Then we became more solid but didn’t have enough quality going forward. I thought we got a better balance today."

    Both managers are now speaking to the media. 

    Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he doesn't know how long Alexis Sanchez or Laurent Koscielny will be out for.

    Full reaction to come.

    Norwich midfielder Robbie Brady: "We worked our socks off all night and the point means a bit more when you go behind to a team like Arsenal. 

    "We stuck to the game plan and got the equaliser. We showed good character to come back intio the game and began to look comfortable. 

    "We created chances and if things had gone our way we would have taken all three points."

    Shohan Sen, from Kent: What an awful day at the office! Crippling injuries and dropped points to a relegation-threatened team. Title challenge? That's quickly slipping into the same old monotone battle for fourth place! Horrendous.  

  14. 'A tough afternoon'published at 18:16

    Norwich 1-1 Arsenal

    Norwich midfielder Gary O'Neil, speaking to Sky Sports: "We had a go. They had some attacks as well but we had a good shape and caused them some problems. 

    "In the second half we looked the more likely. We've had some tough games recently, Chelsea and Manchester City away. But the performances have been good. Defensively we have been sound but haven't managed to cause problems going forward, today we found a better balance. 

    "A point is a good result. Arsenal will have come here expecting to win and we have them a tough afternoon."

    A  bit harsh that, Simeon? 

    Not sure I can see a lot of dead wood in that Arsenal XI. Norwich played well today.

  18. 'Arsenal cannot win the league'published at 18:09 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2015

    Chris Sutton
    Former Norwich striker on BBC Radio 5 live

    "Norwich had the better chances in the game. Arsenal dominated possession certainly in the early stages of the first half. I think Alex Neil would have taken a point before hand and it was better point for Norwich.

    "The worrying thing for Arsenal is the amount of injuries to key players. It must have affect on them.

    "I do not think they can win the title."

    A breathless finish to the game. 

    A point for Arsene Wenger's side sees them stay fourth, two points off top spot.

    Norwich are now three points above the drop zone.
