Arsenal star Mesut Ozil clearly knows how to hold a grudge.
The playmaker of Turkish origin remembered the Stoke police force mocking his performance during the defeat against the Potters seven months ago.
Stoke beat the Gunners 1-0 at the Emirates, Ozil found himself centre of criticism, with the Staffordshire Police writing the following tweet: “Apologies for the delay in replying. We’ve been busy looking for a missing person, surname Ozil. Have you seen him? #Banter’.”
Well Ozil had the last laugh. The 29-year-old won the penalty for the opener and provided the corner that resulted in the second as Arsenal went onto win the game 3-0.

All in perfect timing for the Gunners star to share an April Fools’ Day joke.
Ozil got his revenge after the game, trolling the police force with their own tweet.

The Gunners take on CSKA Moscow next in the Europa League quarter-final first-leg tie at the Emirates. The European competition is currently the most realistic chance the North London based outfit have of booking a place in the Champions League next season.
