Arsenal Held By Norwich

Arsenal's grip on third place in the Premier League was loosened after they were held to a 3-3 draw at home to Norwich.

Arsenal, who started the day a point ahead of Tottenham and Newcastle, made the ideal start when birthday boy Yossi Benayoun scored after two minutes.

Norwich were level when a mistake by goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny allowed Wes Hoolahan to equalise 10 minutes later.

Grant Holt then gave Norwich a 2-1 lead at half-time when his shot took a cruel deflection of Kieran Gibbs and looped over a stranded Szczesny.

Arsenal hit back in the second-half with two late goals by Robin van Persie to give them a 3-2 lead.

But the drama was far from over and Steve Morison scored five minutes from time to earn Norwich a point.
