Gary Neville singled out one Arsenal man for praise on Twitter.
Mesut Ozil was one of Arsenal’s stand-out performers on Wednesday as Arsene Wenger’s side battled to a 2-2 draw in a thrilling London derby with Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium.
The German schemer has been arguably Arsenal’s best player over the previous two months or so and he maintained his wizadry in last night’s classic stalemate in North London.
The Gunners grabbed a last-gasp equaliser through Hector Bellerin after goals from Eden Hazard and Marcos Alonso cancelled out Jack Wilshere’s opener after the hour mark.
The likes of Bellerin, Wilshere and goalkeeper Petr Cech will get the plaudits from an Arsenal perspective, but Neville has singled out the World Cup winner for special praise on Twitter.
The Sky Sports co-commentator hasn’t always been flattering toward the former Real Madrid man – and rightly so because there seems to be two Ozils.
There is the Ozil who makes Arsenal tick and the Ozil that occasionally looks like he isn’t bothered by the result, but it must be said that the latter hasn’t evident for a couple of months and fans of the North London club will be delighted and disappointed in equal measure.
As good as he has been, the former Schalke and Werder Bremen ace is out of contract in the summer and Arsenal must be worried that his form will lead to a cut-price exit this month.
