But while Arsenal dominated possession for long spells, with the home side getting bodies behind the ball it was difficult for Santi Cazorla and Mikel Arteta to get Olivier Giroud into the game.
In fact, Norwich were a regular threat on the break and should even have doubled their lead before the break when Michael Turner headed wide from Anthony Pilkington's right-wing corner.
Jack Wilshere was on the bench for the visitors as he edges back to full fitness but he was not used here as Wenger was forced to use two substitutions bringing on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and then taking him off injured minutes later.
It summed up a difficult evening for Arsenal on a day they slipped 10 points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea.
