Wenger delighted as Ozil outstanding in Arsenal rout of Huddersfield

Published on: 29 November 2017

Mesut Ozil was outstanding as Arsenal thrashed Huddersfield Town 5-0 at the Emirates.

The midfielder, back in the side after recovering from injury, scored one goal and provided two assists as the hosts made it seven wins from seven at the Emirates.

Alexandre Lacazette gave Arsenal an early lead with a confident finish.

But Arsenal scored three goals in four minutes to end Huddersfield's hopes of getting a surprise result.

Ozil played a one-two with Alexis Sanchez before the former teed up substitute Olivier Giroud to convert from six yards out.

Soon after, Sanchez made it three with a volley from Ozil's lofted pass.

Ozil capped a superb individual display with a goal, placing the ball beyond Huddersfield goalkeeper Jonas Lossl after being put through by Ramsey, before Giroud's close-range finish in the final minutes completed the rout.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, speaking to BBC Sport, said: "We started well but then we lost our focus and our passing and allowed them to come back into the game.

"Then we got the second goal and suddenly everyone played with more freedom and more technical quality - then Mesut Ozil showed what he can do."
