Ozil hosts 11-year-old with brain tumour during Sunderland victory

The Arsenal playmaker organised a day trip to Emirates Stadium for the youngster, a lifelong Gunners fan

Mesut Ozil and Arsenal had a good night on the pitch after defeating Sunderland 2-0, with Ozil having a direct impact on the match, but the German may have been most satisfied by helping make the wishes of an 11-year-old boy come true.

The Gunners playmaker hosted Charlie, a lifelong Arsenal fan suffering from a brain tumour, in his private box at Emirates Stadium during Tuesday's win. In addition, Charlie and his parents were given a walking tour of the ground before the boy was taken onto the pitch and presented a Man of the Match award by Ozil.
