Match report: Arsenal 1-0 Norwich

By Rob Kelly at Emirates Stadium

WHAT HAPPENED

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s close-range goal got our Premier League season up and running as we saw off Norwich in front of a packed crowd at Emirates Stadium.

With the sun blazing in north London, we came flying out of the blocks, determined to make an instant impact.

Aubameyang had our first opportunity as he raced on to a long ball up the left from Kieran Tierney, noticed Tim Krul had hesitated and tried an ambitious long-range effort only to see it fly wide.

The Gabon international was soon found by Martin Odegaard with a sumptuous ball over the top, and while he managed to poke the ball past the Norwich keeper this time, Grant Hanley was able to scramble it clear.
