Arsenal missed out on the chance to draw level with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table after being held to a 1-1 draw by a spirited Norwich City side.

The Gunners were ahead on the half-hour mark through Mesut Ozil, who continued his fine individual form to capitalise on John Ruddy’s poor clearance.

It was all square before the break at Carrow Road, though, as Lewis Grabban fired home from inside the box on his first start since the opening day.

There was more bad news to follow for Arsenal, with star performer Alexis Sanchez hobbling down the tunnel with a suspected hamstring injury.
