'Arsenal's first goal was like PlayStation football' - Mesut Özil

Jack Wilshere celebrates his first goal for Arsenal against Norwich with Olivier Giroud

Mesut Özil was all praise for the three players involved in Arsenal’s first goal against Norwich City – Jack Wilshere, Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla.

The three players made a number of passes, flicks and ‘1-2’s to score the perfect team goal that had the fans at the Emirates gasping in delight.

“I’ve got to praise the three players involved for the first goal,” said Ozil. “It was real ‘tiki taka’ – almost like they were playing PlayStation! It was an unbelievable goal.”

Ozil himself grabbed a brace with two goals in the second half, including an unlikely header from a Giroud cross. But he was quick to point out that there is still room for improvement.

“I know that I can still improve but I’m happy with my display and the performance of the team.”

Özil also paid tribute to Aaron Ramsey and his work ethic on the pitch.

“Aaron Ramsey showed that any player who comes on will do his best for the team and will get involved in tackles and attacks immediately.”

“That’s why we’ve been in such good form. I’m really proud of the team. We’re taking what the manager wants us to take into games and are making strides. Now we’ve got another three points and can be pleased with that.”
