Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has praised his side's "fantastic spirit" after they came from behind to beat Norwich City 3-1 in the Premier League on Saturday.

Michael Turner gave the visitors the lead at the Emirates Stadium before a controversial Mikel Arteta penalty got the Gunners level with five minutes to play.

Two quick goals from from Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski then saw the home side clinch a dramatic victory.

"Anything could happen because we had to throw everything forward," Wenger told Sky Sports News.

"On counter-attacks we were outnumbered a few times, but we really wanted to win this game. In the end our fantastic spirit got us there."

The win has lifted Arsenal up into third place in the Premier League table.
