Ozil now has three goals and five assists in all competitions for the Gunners this season.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger was asked whether we are now seeing Ozil’s best run of form in an Arsenal shirt after the game.
Wenger was quoted by the Mirror as saying: “Yes. Certainly, I think he takes responsibilities and that is what you want from him.
“He is mature, he guides the team, they are aware he is on the ball a lot — always your heart rate goes down when he has the ball.
“Not only his goal but I would say more important is the quality and the influence he has on the collective game.”
Ozil is approaching the last few months of his contract but has yet to sign a new deal.
The playmaker of Turkish origin has been offered £275,000-a-week to extend deal expiring next summer but has yet to make a final decision over his future.
