Arsenal missed the chance to join Manchester City and Leicester at the top of the table when they drew 1-1 with Norwich at Carrow Road on Sunday while losing both Alexis Sanchez and Laurent Koscielny to injury
Mesut Ozil scored his second Premier League goal of the season to put Arsene Wenger’s side ahead at Carrow Road but Lewis Grabban equalised from close range just before the break, after Koscielny had been forced off with an apparent hip problem.
Sanchez had to be withdrawn after an hour with a hamstring injury and Norwich came close to a winner when the ball flicked off Gabriel’s head and toward his own goal, only for Petr Cech to make a superb save.
Arsenal, who had looked in complete control for the opening half-hour, found themselves on the back foot for much of the rest of the game but Norwich failed to find a second goal that would have given them just a second win in eight league games.
The Gunners, meanwhile, remain fourth on the table after missing a chance to leapfrog Manchester United above them.
