Arsenal cruised through the Europa League Last 16 5-1 on aggregate after beating AC Milan 3-1 at the Emirates on Thursday.
Hakan Calhanoglu gave Arsenal an early scare after opening the scoring for the visitors.
There was a moment of controversy as Danny Welbeck won a dubious penalty which was converted.
The North London based outfit scored two further goals in what ended up being a rather convincing win.
Mesut Ozil put on a brilliant display providing two assists in the first leg.
The playmaker of Turkish origin started again on Thursday but did not add to his goal or assist tally.
We took a look at how Arsenal fans reacted to Ozil’s display on social media.

Arsenal fans appeared to be pretty darn pleased with Ozil’s performance on the night.

It doesn’t matter how much you overrate Ozil, you always underrate him.

Ozil getting denied so many assists.

Ozil is phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal.

Mesut Ozil is the boyfriend all mothers would love to take home for their girls. So loyal to the ball.

Look at that touch?
Mesut Ozil is a delight— Em (@_GoonerPrincess) March 15, 2018
Ozil really does make life easy for attackers.

Ozil eyes are not big for no reason. He sees things others don’t see. ?

What kind of special eyes does Ozil have? How does he pick out these passes?

This made me laugh uncontrollably.
I wanna girl that looks at me the same way Nketiah looks at Ozil. pic.twitter.com/DhOJr57m2l

As did this.
live your life with the zen detachment of mesut ozil competing for a header

So misunderstood.
I honestly feel bad for Ozil because he plays football in a country that doesn’t really understand players like him. Good performance there means running all around the pitch like a headless chicken and “showing effort”. //t.co/KRI3Ws4bT6

Enjoyable night with some good individual performances dampened slightly only by Ozil’s poor attitude to his colleagues

Ozil is a beautiful footballer when he’s in the mood

Can’t win em all over.
Ozil really does make life easy for attackers.

Mesut Ozil very sloppy tonight. He’s misplaced the ball a tonne already tonight and is missing vital areas to pass into. #UEL
