Mesut Ozil played a staring role in Germany’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Italy yesterday evening.

Germany boss Joachim Low has decided to give Arsenal star Mesut Ozil a spot in the starting line-up but rested Liverpool’s Emre Can.

The World Cup winners were in ruthless form and were ahead after 24 minutes via a strike from Tony Kroos. Mario Gotze doubled the German’s lead shortly before half time.

Hector put Germany 3-0 ahead after 59 minutes while Mesut Ozil got on the score sheet in the 75th after converting from the penalty spot.

El Shaarawy scored a consolation goal for the visitors seven minutes from full time.

Following the game we took to twitter to see how Ozil’s performance went down with fans.

The Arsenal playmaker received a positive reaction on the whole with fans citing his role in Germany’s goals.
