Norwich City come from a goal behind to hold a 2-1 advantage at the break from their trip to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal's quest to secure third spot in the Premier League looks to have been halted as Norwich City hold a 2-1 lead at the Emirates Stadium.

The hosting Gunners got off to the best possible start with a goal after 65 seconds. Yossi Benayoun cut in from the right-hand side before curling the ball over Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy and into the net.

Norwich's response was positive and they managed to pull themselves level 11 minutes later. Kyle Naughton crossed for Wes Hoolahan, whose first-time shot was parried into his own net by Wojciech Szczsney.

The Polish keeper was beaten again in the 27th minute when Grant Holt's effort deflected into the net off Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs.

Paul Lambert's visitors had two claims for a penalty as the half drew to a close, but neither Holt nor Russell Martin were ruled to have been fouled by referee Anthony Taylor.
