Arsenal extended their winning streak to 11 games in all competitions following their 1-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League on Match Day 3.
Playmaker of Turkish origin Mesut Ozil traveled with the squad to Portugal but did not make an appearance.
The victory resulted in Arsenal finishing the latest round of games as Group E leader.
Ozil did however, issue his side a warning making it clear that they should not get carried away and must stay grounded heading into the Crystal Palace clash at Selhurst Park in the Premier League.
We march on! ??❤ Another win for us ?? It’s important we keep our feet on the ground and go again at Selhurst Park on Sunday ?? #YaGunnersYa #M1Ö #UEL @Arsenal

Head coach Unai Emery decided to rest Ozil following his brilliant performance as captain in the 3-1 victory over Leicester City.
Ozil helped the Gunners come back from behind against the Foxes scoring the equaliser playing a role in the second goal and setting up the third.
The Arsenal star now has four goals and an assist in nine appearances for the North London based outfit this term.
The match fit and well-rested 30-year-old will be expected to start against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
