London: Substitute Danny Welbeck's second-half goal helped Arsenal to a 1-0 victory on Saturday over relegation-threatened Norwich in the Premier League on a day of protest and division among the home fans.
Welbeck scored in the 59th minute after strike partner Olivier Giroud nodded down a cross for him in the center of the area. Up to that point, Norwich had the clearest chances in the match, with midfielder Nathan Redmond missing three first-half opportunities.
Several hundred Arsenal fans held up signs in protest in the 12th minute to signify anger and disappointment that it has been 12 years since the London club won a league title. The sign, in the red and white colors of the club, said, "Time for Change. Arsenal is Stale. Fresh Approach Needed."
Arsenal provisionally moved third.
