Gary O'Neil praises Norwich City 'shape' following draw against Arsenal

Norwich City skipper Gary O'Neil highlights his side's 'shape' as a contributing factor to the Canaries' hard-fought 1-1 draw against Arsenal in the Premier League.

Norwich City skipper Gary O'Neil has praised his side's 'shape' after the Canaries battled to claim a point from a 1-1 draw against Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Gunners originally went ahead through Mesut Ozil, but Lewis Grabban was able to pull his side back on level terms with a neat finish before half time.

"We had a go. They had some attacks as well but we had a good shape and caused them some problems," said O'Neill, according to Sky Sports News.

"In the second half we looked the more likely. We've had some tough games recently, Chelsea and Manchester City away. But the performances have been good. Defensively we have been sound but haven't managed to cause problems going forward, today we found a better balance.

"A point is a good result. Arsenal will have come here expecting to win and we have [given] them a tough afternoon."

Norwich currently sit in 16th place in the league standings, after collecting 13 points from 14 games so far this term.
