Arsenal extended their winning run to 10 games after coming from behind to beat Leicester City 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Monday.
Mesut Ozil was given the captains armband heading into the Foxes clash and he repaid head coach Unai Emery with a footballing masterclass.
The playmaker of Turkish origin scored the equaliser after finishing off a one-two passing combination with Hector Bellerin with a delightful sidefoot shot.
