The home side had to work for their victory but moved to within two points of second-placed Tottenham as a number of fans protested against the management of Arsene Wenger.
A goal from substitute Danny Welbeck helped Arsenal to a narrow 1-0 victory over Norwich City as Arsene Wenger ‘s men took a big step towards securing Champions League qualification amid fan protests against the Frenchman.
It was Norwich who had the better of a quiet first half, but Welbeck netted just before the hour mark shortly after coming off the bench with what was the Gunners’ first shot on target.
Arsenal were relatively comfortable from that point on, though, and are now unbeaten in eight Premier League games as they move up to third, three points ahead of Manchester City and eight clear of West Ham and Manchester United.
