Mesut Ozil was always going to need to put in a performance on Saturday.
And on his return to the side the midfielder did exactly that. Ozil played a pivotal role in the opening goal by playing a sublime defence-splitting ball for Sead Kolasinac to cut the ball back for Aubameyang to score.
It was a delicious pre-assist which you will appreciate even more when you see where Kolasinac was when Ozil somehow spotted his run and exploited the gap in Burnley's defence to drift the ball into his team-mate's path. There aren't many players on the planet capable of playing that pass.
Ashley Barnes scored the consolation for Burnley but Alex Iwobi came from the bench to score the third goal for Arsenal, with Mesut Ozil in the assist record.
