Lewis Grabban says he can fire Norwich to safety

Norwich City striker Lewis Grabban says he can fire them to Premier League safety.

The 27-year-old striker was axed and fined after refusing to be a substitute in a cup tie at Rotherham at the end of August.

But his goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Arsenal kept up his remarkable record for the Canaries.

Norwich are unbeaten in the last 24 games he has scored, winning 19 and drawing five.

Grabban said: "I was given my chance again against Arsenal and I took it so I'm very happy.

"I have been out of the team for a while so obviously scoring on my comeback was very nice, a big of a relief.

"It's been frustrating being out of the side because the worst thing for any footballer is not to be playing.

"But this puts all of that in the past and now hopefully we can all move forward.

"It was just nice to be celebrating a goal again with the rest of the lads and all the fans."
