Sead Kolasinac Hails Mesut Ozil's Leadership at Arsenal After Burnley Display

Arsenal's Sead Kolasinac has praised Mesut Ozil's leadership at the Emirates Stadium following his performance in their 3-1 win over Burnley on Saturday.

Having been entirely left out of the Gunners' 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup last Wednesday, Ozil was named captain by manager Unai Emery for the Premier League game with the Clarets, and Kolasinac hailed his team-mate.

Per the Mirror's Matthew Dunn, the left-back said:

"Mesut's not the sort of player who will scream at you in public just to show the people on the outside that he tries to push us on.
