Mesut Ozil claimed his 14th and 15th assists of the season on Monday to help guide Arsenal to a vital 2-1 win over Manchester City.
The German schemer is now just five assists from equalling Thierry Henry’s record total in a single Premier League season (20) and has created more goals than the entire Manchester United and Chelsea teams.
Despite David Moyes recently claiming that the “jury is still out” on Ozil’s quality, Twitter was united in praise for the playmaker, who is proving his class in Arsenal’s title challenge.
Ross Barkley kicked off the compliments…
Ozil is different class. #simple

While this doesn’t make pleasant reading for Eden Hazard
29 – Mesut Ozil now has 29 Premier League assists in his career, as many as Eden Hazard but in 59 games fewer. Race.
