Arsenal 5 Paris Saint-Germain 1: Ozil scores on Gunners return

Arsenal secured a comfortable International Champions Cup win over Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday, with Mesut Ozil among the goals.

Mesut Ozil scored on his return to the Arsenal starting XI in an emphatic 5-1 International Champions Cup win over an unfamiliar Paris Saint-Germain side, while Alexandre Lacazette netted a brace.

Ozil, who captained the Gunners, has had a difficult couple of months that culminated in him retiring from international football last week after growing tired of perceived mistreatment from the German Football Federation (DFB).

That saga stemmed from a pre-World Cup meeting with controversial Turkey president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but he returned to Arsenal action in successful fashion on Saturday after his country's shock group-stage exit in Russia.
