Ozil has blossomed in new Arsenal role - Wenger

The Germany international was in top form to deliver three points at the weekend, and his performance won him the praise of Wenger after the game

Arsene Wenger believes Mesut Ozil has blossomed in his new Arsenal role after starring in their impressive victory away to Stoke City.

Ozil scored with an impressive chip during the Gunners' 4-1 win on Saturday as his team continued their strong run of results since switching to a 3-4-3 system.

The formation sees the Germany international and Alexis Sanchez line up behind a lone striker, Olivier Giroud playing the role against Stoke, and the trio combined to score all four of Arsenal's goals at the bet365 Stadium.
