Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1 on penalties in the International Champions Cup in Dublin, Ireland on Wednesday evening.
Mesut Ozil started for the Gunners, playing the full 90 minutes.
The playmaker of Turkish origin was directly involved in the goal that resulted in the last-gasp equaliser.

The 29-year-old did not get a direct assist during the game but did end up ‘assisting’ a young Arsenal fan by giving him his shirt after the match, much to his delight.
Arsenal shared the moment on their official Twitter account.
“Ozil, can I have your shirt please?”
You know what? Yes, you can ?@MesutOzil1088 decided to assist this young Gunner post-match ☺️#ICC2018 pic.twitter.com/iBbE1lCwK7
