The ball to Mkhitaryan received a lot of praise.
That ball from Ozil was first class. Great finish from Mkhitaryan too.

It has been quite a long time since I have seen Arsenal fans this happy. It has been a while since I have seen Ozil receive this much praise.
Ozil’s vision is life.

Ozil is that guy in school who never revised and never did work but always came out with the best grades

Ozil is an artist. We dont deserve this guy. Damn that pass

Ozil best player in history confirmed. Thanks and goodnight.

Ozil and Ramsey have been excellent. Kolasinac & Jack. Most them have.
Even Welbeck, who started dreadfully, was involved in three very good moves at the end of that half.
This is weird.

Mesut Ozil is a special special footballer ??

When Ozil is seemingly strolling about is when he does his study of where the holes in the opposition are. The precision, timing and weight of pass for his two assists tonight were everything Ozil.

Mesut Ozil doing the lord’s work.

Ozil with a defence splitting assist again & again… form is temporary but class is permanent!!!

Was listening to it in the car on the way home, the commentator described Ozil’s pass as De Bruyne-esque. Nearly swerved the Datsun off the M11.

Me looking for playmakers better than Ozil pic.twitter.com/RKQXDL6ZlF

Ozil splitting open Italian drilled defenses with one pass but heard from certain Liverpool accounts he aint a top playmaker

So much for not being a big match player…
‘Not a big game player’ Ozil has now got two goals and four assists in Arsenal’s last six European games away from home.

Kristan weren’t having any of it!
I see your point, but their opponents before Milan were Ostersunds, Basel, and Ludogorets. Hardly Europe’s elite is it?
