Arsenal FC: Mesut Ozil’s agent criticises scapegoat treatment of Gunners midfielder

Mesut Ozil is unfairly being used as a scapegoat as Arsenal's season threatens to fall apart, according to the German's agent.

The Gunners were thrashed 5-1 by Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

Manager Arsene Wenger admitted it had been a ''nightmare'' for his side after they shipped three goals in the space of second-half 10 minutes.

The future of the long-serving Frenchman has again come into question from supporters and pundits alike - as has the direction of his team which once again appeared devoid of leadership when needed most.
