Arsenal fans hail star in sensational San Siro performance

Arsenal stunned the San Siro in the first-half by scoring twice to gain two vital away goals in the Europa League.

Goals from Henrik Mkhitaryan and Aaron Ramsey have fired them into a shock lead and have helped to lift spirits in a challenging period for the club.

One player this evening has everyone talking and that is Mesut Ozil who provided assists for both goals.

Mesut's magic

Ozil is regularly critisied for his failure to produce for the Gunners when it counts, but this evening that has been far from the case.

The German, who recently signed a new contract with the club, has been on fire against AC Milan, playing a pivotal part in Arsenal's five star display.

Ozil's two assist at the San Siro means that he has now been directly involved in 100 goals and assists combined (37 goals and 63 assists) for the North Londoners in all competitions.

Ozil's performance hailed

Mesut Ozil is a special special footballer 👏🏼

Ozil and Ramsey have been excellent. Kolasinac & Jack. Most them have.

Even Welbeck, who started dreadfully, was involved in three very good moves at the end of that half.

This is weird.

Ozil's contribution to both those goals can't be underestimated. He and Mkhitaryan both stepping up tonight. They needed to.

When Ozil is seemingly strolling about is when he does his study of where the holes in the opposition are. The precision, timing and weight of pass for his two assists tonight were everything Ozil.
