Mesut Özil chucks jacket at Everton bench because he was pure raging like

You won’t like Mesut when he’s angry

Arsenal captain Mesut Özil was subbed off during their 1-0 defeat at Everton today and was left to fume on the bench as the game drifted away from the Gunners.

Mesut was stewing so much, in fact, that he had no option but to chuck his substitute’s jacket at the Everton technical area after Unai Emery and Marco Silva became embroiled in a relatively low-key touchline spat.

Watch as Mesut, in behind the last man, gets his head up, sees the run and just weights it absolutely beautifully as his jacket flies up in the air and sails harmlessly past everyone.

Bravo, Mesut. Bravo. That will teach them to mess with you.

10/10 for this face as well, knowing he has to sit there reasonably chilly for the remaining six minutes plus extra time. Has an expression ever been more: “I immediately regret my decision. That really, really wasn’t worth it”?

Ban him for life imo. Disgusting. Somebody could have been seriously hurt.
