Only pride was at risk

Doomed Norwich played against an Arsenal team that had already secured a top four finish and were therefore playing only for pride.

The same could be said for Norwich, for whom the chance to avoid the drop, though mathematically possible, had long gone as only an 18 goal demolition of the Gunners would have kept them in the top flight next season.

Norwich managed a goalless first half but when the players returned to the pitch Aaron Ramsey put the FA Cup finalists in front after eight minutes.

This was then followed by 22 year old Carl Jenkinson who scored his first ever senior goal.

Obviously the task was too great and after three seasons in the Premier League, Norwich will now join both Fulham and Cardiff in the Championship.
