#5 Ozil’s calm finish caps off a mad night for Arsenal
Ozil's’ goal scoring form has been one of the highlights for Arsenal this season. The German is on track to break his goal tally of last season having scored seven already this season.
His cross to set up Xhaka for the opening goal was capped off by an impressive finish, calmly lobbing the keeper to keep hold off the ball and then dribbled past the sliding defenders to plant a finish that sealed the Arsenal victory.
Arsene Wenger, before the game, had stressed on the fact that they had to top the group in order to avoid tougher opposition in the knockout stages. After the game, speaking to BBC Radio 5, the veteran Frenchman stated, “We need to maintain the quality of our results until the match against Paris St-Germain and then hopefully we will be in a position to finish top of the group.”
Another impressive stat was that it was for the first time since 2009 that Arsenal came back from two goals down to win a Champions League match. Although a less impressive stat of just 2 clean sheets in their past 10 away games in the Champions League means a lot of work has to be done defensively ahead of the knockout stages.
