Mesut Ozil won MotM award v Manchester City despite chest infection
Arsenal grabbed all three points against Manchester City with a dominating performance at the Emirates in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

First-half goals from Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud proved enough for Arsenal in a contest that City dominated in terms of possession (63 per cent) and territory.
“The second goal was very important, in the last minute, and it was a mistake from our team”. The Gunners – without a title triumph since 2004 – showed the sort of impressive drive, cutting edge and resilience that will lead manager Arsene Wenger to believe Arsenal can finally end that barren spell.
Mesut Ozil has certainly earned some time off. The classy Arsenal midfielder has been one of the Premier League’s standout performers so far this season, topping the assists chart by some distance. After a fantastic start to the season, the sky Blues have extended their miserable streak away from the Etihad.
“There are games that you have to be intelligent”.
City have lost five games this season and the last team to lose more than five games before Christmas and still win the title was Everton in 1986-87. That is why we implement them into games but we are still risky on the counter-attack and that makes us a real threat. “If you see the games against the big clubs, we won against them so we know our quality, if we play our game we can win the league”, Ozil told reporters after the game. “Ozil is much more mature and much more keen to take on responsibility”, Wenger added.
“I think we didn’t deserve to lose. I personally believe he has developed his physical attributes, his physical commitment, you see a desire to win, you see he plays to win the game, maybe this kind of talent is exceptional and he realises he can help us in every single game”. Even if it didn’t pan out, there’s more for us to give and more for us to fight! You come out and realise you have earned your right to win these games and for us it is important.

“Sometimes we need to adjust, we don’t have all the players available at the minute so we [thought] that was the best way to win against City”.
