The match ended 1-1 with both sides earning a point.Here are the talking points from the game:

#1 The assists continue

Mesut Ozil was once again at his best providing an assist for Kieran Gibbs who equalized for his side. He picked up the ball on the right wing and floated in a cross with his left foot. His teammate was at hand to guide the ball home.

The German international has been in lethal form for his club side notching up ten assists in the last eleven games. He has found his feet this season and is in the form of his life. As compared to last season when he suffered a knee injury; Mesut Ozil looks fit and that has perhaps been one of the reasons contributing to his confidence.

Ozil is a key member of his side and his form will be crucial to the Gunners’ chances this season.
