23:30 (IST)30 APR 2016

70': Ozil makes a ridiculous pass to Sanchez on the counter attack which leaves the Chilean open just outside the box, however instead of passing he hits a hard shot straight at the keeper. Wasteful.

23:20 (IST)30 APR 2016

60': Norwich will feel hard done by as they created several chances in the first half, but the dominance in possession by Arsenal means it was unsurprising that they eventually scored. Arsenal fans will be happy with Welbeck's instant impact.

23:06 (IST)30 APR 2016

22:41 (IST)30 APR 2016
