Watch: Mesut Ozil loses temper & physically lashes out at Sunderland player

Arsenal beat Sunderland 2-0 at the Emirates to keep their slim hopes of a top-four finish alive.

Germany international of Turkish origin Mesut Ozil added to his assist tally setting up Alexis Sanchez with the opening goal.

Ozil is arguably one of the most talented players in the Premier League but he has faced criticism at times for his perceived lack of passion.

The 28-year-old’s body language does annoy sections of the Gunners fanbase and media.

Ozil did however, show a more aggressive side to his game against the Black Cats.

The Gunners star had an altercation with Oviedo which involved him pushing the Sunderland land and kicking the ball at him.

Very un-Ozil like!

Well I never! Mesut Ozil just pushed a player & then kicked the ball at him. Propa Premier League player now! Getting stuck in #Nutter #lad pic.twitter.com/6i0IixJqIE
