Ozil Set To Smash Henry’s EPL Record
“I changed a few players and put Calum Chambers at the centre of the park so it took us a while to get going but I think in the last 70 minutes we were in control of the game and did very well”, he said. Arsenal had been slow into their rhythm but had the decisive advantage of Ozil in their team. I don’t like to compare players but he is an exceptional player and you have to give me credit.

That came from an Ozil corner, the playmaker’s 16th assist in the Premier League this term, and he soon took his club goal tally to five for the season as well with a wonderfully-taken second after the hour.
There is a statue of Dennis Bergkamp outside the Emirates and there are plenty of good judges who still argue that it is the Dutch master rather than Thierry Henry who should go down as Arsenal’s finest ever player.
Arsenal wrapped it up after 63 minutes when Ozil made a run from deep, played a one-two with Olivier Giroud and the France striker’s attractive flick set up Arsenal’s man-of-the-match who slotted home the second.
Ozil swung in the corner which Gabriel headed home for the game’s opening goal and scored the second and final goal himself and spent the rest of the game creating brilliant chances which the rest of his team spurned.
“We keep working every day, game by game, and you can see that every game is very hard in this league because all the teams have the squads they need to compete, and in every game we need to really compete to make sure that we win points and so far, we are in a very good position”.
The win helped the Gunners leapfrog Leicester City into top spot, with Claudio Ranieri’s side scheduled to host Manchester City at the King Power Stadium later tonight.
The Czech Republic stopper surpassed the 169 blanks set by former England worldwide David James as Arsenal beat Bournemouth 2-0 to go top of the table. While Berkamp’s assist record also impressively reached double figures in four of his 11 Premier League seasons, his overall ratio of 0.29 assists per game is comfortably bettered by Ozil’s record of 0.46.
But Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager, says he remains uncertain as to when Wilshere will be available. He admitted that he too had been forced to marvel at Ozil’s passing masterclass.
However, by this stage of the season, the Frenchman had not recorded even half as many assists as Ozil.

“I think he can be very proud of that”, said Wenger. On top of that he is a remarkably gifted goalkeeper. Walcott shot across the face of goal after 67 minutes and then missed from close range when Boruc parried Giroud’s shot.
