The Emirates appeared to be half empty as boos rang around the stadium.

And in a heated moment on the pitch, Ozil completely lost his rag when Bellerin took his time making a pass which could have led to a dangerous attack.

Video appears to show Ozil saying: “You talk too much, wait until inside the dressing room.”

But Bellerin insists the pair quickly made up and are firm friends again.

He told Sky Sports: “We are two passionate players and we love the game, and you get into those situations.

“Straight after the game, we were hugging each other. It happens and what happens on the pitch, stays on the pitch.

“I think he said something like ‘you talk too much’ and to be fair, if I was a guy playing alongside myself, I do probably talk a bit too much!

“But I always want to give information to the players in front of me and I want players to demand from me as well. That is how it works.

“We only have a pair of eyes so, when you have players around you that can give you information, it is always important.

“It is normal to always get into things like that in games, this time the cameras picked it up.

“This is part of football, it happens every day and once it finishes, we are all friends again.”
