£42m Arsenal star mistakenly passed ball to a substitute during 3-0 West Ham defeat

Arsenal record signing Mesut Ozil had an evening to forget during the Gunners 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.

The Germany international’s night was summed up by his pass to an Arsenal substitute in the 61st minute. Arsenal were already a goal down when the incident happened.

To be fair to Ozil, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain was wearing a yellow bib while warming up on the sidelines.

Spain international Nacho Monreal tried to retrieve the ball however it ran out of play.

To make matters worse, Crystal Palace went onto score their second goal of the night moments later.

Ozil joined Arsenal for a club record £42.4 million (BBC) from Real Madrid back in September 2013.
