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.

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