Turkish pundit Ridvan Dilmen watched Ozil in action and said:

"I did not expect Mesut Özil to do so much. It is not easy.

"You play football for the first time after 10 months. A team was not built around Mesut, Mesut came to this team.

"I think the next season will be much better because his contract will be 3.5 years. Despite this, I respect his devotion."

Ozil came under huge criticism about his work rate at Arsenal under former boss and Arteta but he proved he could be of good help to his team.
