Arsenal took on Norwich City at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon with an unchanged lineup from the side that drew 0-0 against Sunderland last weekend.
It was a tense affair which saw the visitors with the better chances in the first half, with Nathan Redmond having a few opportunities to put Norwich ahead if not for Petr Cech’s brilliance in goal.
Protests from supporters ensued from the 12th minute, although the division of #WengerIn to #WengerOut was obvious and fewer than 100 people appeared to be involved, while the remainder sang in favour of the Frenchman.
Little was created by Arsenal in the first period and the sides went into the break drawing 0-0.
Into the second half and a surprise substitution saw Alex Iwobi withdrawn for Danny Welbeck, with the England international’s impact felt within minutes.
He combined well with Olivier Giroud – who fans wanted to see withdrawn, to score a volley that put the home side a goal to the good just before the hour mark.
The score ended 1-0, thanks to the substitutes effort.
Not a convincing performance but all three points were awarded nonetheless.
How did the players rate?
