Arsenal celebrate the own goal of Sebastien Bassong of Norwich City during the Premier League match between Arsenal and Norwich City at Emirates Stadium
Arsene Wenger has told his players to hold their nerve as the Gunners look to cement their position in the top four as they play Everton on Tuesday.
A few debatable decisions from the referee opened the floodgates for Arsenal, who came back from 0-1 to beat Norwich City 3-1 in the final minutes of the game at the Emirates. This win helped Arsenal climb to third place in the Premier league, hinting at a strong finish to their season.

Arsenal are only a point ahead of both Chelsea, who have a game in hand, and Tottenham Hotspurs.
However, Wenger insists that he isn’t concerned over the current position of the club in the league table.
“At the moment the position is not important,” Wenger was quoted after the match. “What is important is to keep our run going.
“At the moment, the team that is the most consistent will get there. We have the most consistency.
“Finishing in the top four is a question of nerve. Today was a balance of nerves, quality and intelligence. We didn’t do anything stupid when we were 1-0 down. That side of the game is important.
“We need spirit and nerves. In the end we deserved the win. Credit to Norwich, they played well. They will not go down. They defended well, they gave us problems. We showed absolute resilience.”
With both Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott returning from the injury, Arsene said:
“Wilshere worked hard. He’s in full training, and he and Walcott only got back into full training this week. We thought he had enough to play an hour.
“I wouldn’t have pushed him if Rosicky was available. I didn’t want to restructure the team, so I put him in.”
Wenger also dismissed all the rumours surrounding Podolski and praised his performance against Norwich.
“Podolski is a luxury we have, as are Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain,” he said. “It’s very helpful. Look how we played when he came on.
“As soon as you have a player who doesn’t play for three games, there are stories in the paper.”
