Steve Morison gave the Canaries the lead against the run of play on 17 minutes after some lacklustre defending from Per Mertesacker, only for the Gunners to level just before the half-hour mark, predictably enough through Robin van Persie.
The Arsenal captain then scored again in the second half to take his Premier League goal tally in 2011 to 31. Only Thierry Henry and Alan shearer have scored more times in a single calendar year.
The win lifts Arsenal one place in the table to sixth, below local rivals Tottenham Hotspur on goal difference. Liverpool can reclaim sixth place with a win at Chelsea on Sunday.
