Meust Ozil played the full 90 minutes during Arsenal’s disappointing 2-1 defeat at the hands of Watford FC in the FA Cup yesterday afternoon.

The 27-year-old was Arsenal’s highest rated player according to WhoScored who scored him a 8.3.

The defeat was Ozil’s first in the FA Cup since he joined the Gunners on a record £42.5 million move from Real Madrid back in 2013

The visitors started the game brightly and were 1-0 ahead on 50 minutes when Ighalo found the back of the net. Watford doubled their lead when Guedioura blazed the ball into the top corner.
