Premier League 2018/19, Arsenal 3-1 Leicester City: 3 takeaways

#2 Brilliant Mesut Ozil

Arsenal FC v Leicester City - Premier League

After bringing the curtains down on his International career on controversial circumstances, Mesut Ozil's all the focus are now on club football and Arsenal. He got criticized for his lack of effort on the pitch and reluctance to track back players.

With the captain's armband handed for the match, there was an added responsibility on his shoulders to perform at his very best. After Leicester took the lead at a time when Arsenal was struggling to get a foothold in the game, Mesut Ozil came up with a touch of brilliance just before the halftime giving the host a way back into the match.

The second half it was all Gunners with Ozil at the heart of everything they did. First, the German gave an expectational through ball to Bellerin who set up Aubameyand for a tap-in and later he provided the assist himself for the Gabonese to score his second.

The fans must be delighted with his performance today and would hope he can continue playing like this for rest of the season.
