Özil praises Arsenal for ‘great performance’ against Man City [divider]

Mesut Özil praised his Arsenal teammates following their 2-0 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad stadium.

Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud scored in Arsenal’s win over City to move the Gunners into fifth place on 39 points.

Özil tweeted: “Wow, 2:0 at the Etihad Stadium! Great performance from the whole team! #YaGunnersYa #COYG #MCFCvAFC.”

The 26-year-old recently recovered from an injury which had seen him sidelined for two months.

Özil made his first appearance last weekend against Stoke since damaging his knee ligaments during a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in October.

The record £42.5 million Arsenal signing did not make an appearance against City due to lacking match fitness.

Özil has made two assists and scored one goal in ten appearances for the North-London based club this season.

The World Cup winner provided 14 assists for Arsenal last season and has a total of 157 assists in 399 games.

The 26-year-old has an 88 percent completion rate and has averaged 60.6 passes per-game, only Aaron Ramsey has a better record of 60.9 passes per-game.
