‘Arsene might need new pants’ – Arsenal fans react to Mesut Ozil goal against Stoke on social media
Arsenal beat Stoke City 4-1 at the Britannia stadium to keep their hopes of finishing in the top-four alive.
The Gunners moved just one point behind fourth-placed Liverpool who face a tricky test away to West Ham today at the London stadium.
Germany international of Turkish origin Mesut Ozil was among the players to get their name on the scoresheet.
Ozil scored his 12th goal of the season in the process and his eighth in the Premier League which is a new personal best for him in a single season in England.
We took a look at how Arsenal fans reacted to Ozil’s display on social media.

Arsene Wenger couldn’t hind his excitement. There were even suggestions that he may have been a little too excited.

Ozil with a Goal, and a pre assist but you won’t read anything about his performance cz it doesn’t suit the agenda.

Sanchez & Mesut Ozil were phenomenal
Cech & Aaron Ramsey were decent
Mike Dean spoiling

Did you know that was the first time Ozil has started away against Stoke?
Not sure how its taken 4 years for Ozil to start a match away at Stoke.

That chant is back.
‘We’ve got Ozil. Mesut Ozil. I just don’t think you understand. He’s Arsene Wenger’s man. He’s better than Zidane.

It wasn’t quite cold and windy but Ozil was still able to prove himself in an evening at Stoke.
Mesut Ozil named man of the match at Stoke City, that fortress of “British values”

Sanchez and Ozil were brilliant against Stoke City but both will have just 12 months remaining on their contract at the end of the season and have yet to sign a new deal.
Seriously anyone who says we are better off without Alexis or Ozil needs a public flogging.

I bet they talk more about Sanchez and Ozil’s contracts than they do about the game on MOTD.

Do West Ham fans owe Arsenal a win against Liverpool after the abuse they have given Ozil?
West Ham taking points off Liverpool as an apology for the Ozil-related blasphemy they’ve engaged in in the last 2 years would be accepted.
