  1. Norwich 1-1 Arsenalpublished at 52 mins

    It's all been pretty scrappy since the restart - maybe the howling wind is having more of a say? 

    Norwich are looking much more confident on the ball than they were though.

    Arsenal had been cruising, big in the slick-stakes for much of that first half. A lot more muted now.

    Former Norwich striker on BBC Radio 5 live

    "I hope Norwich learnt from the lessons of the first-half when they were more positive.

    "They are now sitting deep again and Arsenal will pick them off. Norwich have to show attacking threat and get bodies forward at the right time."

    By the way Norwich fans - Lewis Grabban has not lost in any of the last 23 games he's scored in...

    Santi Cazorla is back on the pitch. 

    But now Olivier Giroud is taking his time to get up - he took a bit of a knock there too and is not happy with a certain Gary O'Neil. Nothing in the challenge, ball was there to be won.

     "Santi Cazorla looks in a good deal of pain, he is still grimacing. I do not think there was any intention from Gary O'Neil there.

    "He has hobbled back on the pitch but not moving particularly well."  

  7. Norwich 1-1 Arsenalpublished at 46 mins

    Wait, what? 

    Santi Cazorla is down. Arsenal really do not need another man out - they've already lost Laurent Koscielny today. 

    Cazorla took a knock in a 50-50. He's gone off but looks OK to carry on...

    Mick, Basingtoke: Why don't Arsenal ever give the so called smaller sides respect?

    MTBloomfield:  Am I the only Canaries fan concerned that Pat Jennings is doing the Norwich City vs Arsenal live updates?  

    I can confirm that he and I are not the same. Certainly the better goalkeeper. But Charlie George will be here next week.

    What have a lemur, a canary and a triceratops got in common? 

    They are all mascots, shaking their booty at the cameras on the pitch at Carrow Road, dressed in full Norwich kit. 

    Football is weird.

  11. Norwich 1-1 Arsenalpublished at 17:09

    Brilliant stat this. 

    Arsenal have conceded half of their 12 goals this season in the 15-minute period before half time.

    So presumably there's a whole score of Gunners fans out there who'll be coming back from a time-out, knowing exactly what will have happened...

    "Norwich should be 2-1 up. The goal gave them belief. 

    "Arsenal scored and in a perverse way Norwich became more positive in their forward play. They finished the half strongly."

    Norwich gave Arsenal too much respect for the first half an hour. They don't look comfortable when City take the game to them.

    Well they very nearly did Craig. 

    There will be some head-scratching going on in that Arsenal dressing room for sure. 

    Norwich though, they're right back in this.

    What a chance!

    Wes Hoolahan steams in at the back stick but Jonny Howson's low cross just bounces up in front of him. 

    A difficult one, and the ball flies over from Hoolahan's first-time strike, and that is a let off for Arsenal. Where have the away side gone?

    Former Norwich striker on BBC Radio 5 live Sports Extra

    "You have to say good decision by Alex Neil to start with Lewis Grabban.

    "Robbie Brady has the awareness to find Grabban and he rolls Gabriel too easily, the defender gets too tight. Cech dashes off his line but Grabban slides the ball under him.

    "You can not say that Norwich deserved the goal but it was a superb.

    "They do not want half-time to come, they are the team in the ascendancy the goal has given them a lot of confidence."

    Wow. I did not see that coming! 

    Arsenal looked to be in total control up until those few minutes of Norwich pressure. The home side raised it, and got their goal.

    Three minutes to be added on...

    Lewis Grabban

    A vital goal! Just before the break, here's Robbie Brady again with a delicious ball to split the Arsenal line. 

    Lewis Grabban is on the end of it - and holds off the challenge to stab home.

    Game on!

  20. Norwich 0-1 Arsenalpublished at 41 mins

    Finally a bit of a response from Norwich! 

    With just under five to go Robbie Brady cuts inside and curls one towards the back stick. Petr Cech can palm away at the top of his arc.

    Brady has been Norwich's sharpest.
