Arsenal Captain Vs Burnley, Ozil Praised For Role He Played In Alex Iwobi's Goal
Former Germany star Mesut Ozil has been praised for the role he played in the buildup to Arsenal's third goal scored by Alex Iwobi in their 3-1 win against Burnley at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

A brace from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave the Gunners a two-goal advantage, Ashley Barnes halved the deficit from close range before Iwobi killed the game off in the first minute of stoppage time.

beIN Sports pundit Andy Gray revealed that there was no way Iwobi would have missed the target after the ball fell kindly to him.

''It's only their third attempt in the last 70 minutes of football, so it has not been a great second half for them,'' Gray said during the game.

''Mesut Ozil again at the heart of this goal, he makes a lovely little run just through the center of the defense, he's just about the penalty spot.

''He's got four players, he tries a shot and gets blocked but it only runs to Alex Iwobi and from six yards he can't miss.''

Prior to the game against the Clarets, Iwobi had not scored in the Premier League for more than four months.
