Alex Neil delighted with Norwich City response

Alex Neil praises the response of his Norwich City side after they fought back to play out a 1-1 draw with Arsenal.

Norwich City manager Alex Neil has revealed his pride after watching his side fight back to earn a point against Arsenal.

Lewis Grabban cancelled out Mesut Ozil's opener to secure a 1-1 draw as the Canaries moved three points clear of the relegation zone.

Norwich created the better chances to find the winning goal at Carrow Road, and Neil was keen to praise his players when reflecting on the performance.

"We conceded the first goal and at that point I thought we had pressed the self-destruct button, but we showed great character to get back into the game," Neil told reporters.

"In the second half we started a bit slow and invited Arsenal onto us, but as the half wore on I thought we were the better team.

"Getting the balance right for us was important. At the start of the season we played well but weren't solid enough. Then we became more solid but didn't have enough quality going forward. I thought we got a better balance today."

Norwich now switch their focus to next Saturday's trip to Watford.
