Ozil would score the second and seal the victory in a memorable win at the Emirates

In another memorable game at the Emirates for the Gunners, Ozil put in one of his best performances in every department in an Arsenal shirt.

Facing Bayern Munich managed by Pep Guardiola after losing their first two group games, this was a must-win game for Arsenal. Not only that, it was a game Arsenal needed Ozil to step up in. He did exactly that.

As expected, Bayern dominated possession on the day. However, when given the chance to break, Ozil was almost always at the heart of the counter-attack. Often, if he had no one to pass the ball to, he was able to draw a foul from the Bayern players, using his body for the same.

Furthermore, he played a key part not only in Arsenal's victory, but also in them keeping a clean sheet. He tracked back better than he had ever done before and worked hard in the Arsenal box.

But, it wasn’t just his defense that was good. His passing and dribbling, as always, remained second to none.

To cap off an excellent night for both him and his team-mates, it would be him who would score the second goal to put the game out of sight in stoppage time. Receiving the ball from Bellerin’s fast paced cross, he side foot volleyed over the line to make it 2-0 and earn his team a valuable win at the Emirates.
