The 28-year-old has been criticised for not working hard enough and showing enough fight at times this season so as you can imagine his slide tackle went down very well with the Arsenal faithful.

Not everyone was over the moon about the tackle.
Refereeing in the 1st half of the #FACupFinal was appalling. Ozil’s tackle on Hazard would be a red any other time.
