Arsenal beat Watford 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Gunners have now won their last seven successive games in all competitions and have moved into 5th place in the league.
Mesut Ozil returned to the starting lineup after being rested against Brentford in the Carabao Cup last week.
Ozil ended up scoring the second goal for the North London outfit taking his season tally to three goals in all competitions.
We took a look at how Arsenal fans reacted to the playmaker of Turkish origin’s display on social media.
Let’s just say most Gunners supporters appeared pretty pleased with the performance.

Disinterested Ozil with a poor body language passing the ball into the net lazily these days…. #ARSWAT

The way Ozil timed his run for #afc second, adjusting his stride as Lacazette delivered the cross, and opening up his left foot to meet the ball, showed the special craft to his game. Legitimate debate about consistency/urgency etc but Ozil’s ability is undoubted.

Ozil looked so determined to prove himself once he moved back to 10. He finished the game so strong and I think he has earned his position back.

Quite a few fans were pleased with how hard Ozil worked.
The 29-year-old has been accused of not doing enough on the defensive end in the past but he demonstrated he is capable of putting in a shift with his display against Watford.
Ozil tracks back and wins a tackle and the commentators are silent LOL

MESUT OZIL JUST LOST THE BALL AND THEN RAN BACK AND WON IT BACK WTF

Earlier Ozil ran the length of the pitch to press the goalkeeper. Last week Iwobi came on as a sub and was applauded for doing that. Ozil did that after being on the field for 70mins and no one mentioned it. No matter what you do to taint the man he keeps delivering #ARSWAT
