Mesut Ozil pass for Aubameyang opening goal has Arsenal fans drooling

IT took just 13 minutes for Mesut Ozil to show his class as Arsenal took the lead against Burnley.

The German was handed the captain's armband by Unai Emery after being left out of the squad in the defeat to Tottenham midweek.

Speculation over his future has been rife heading into the January transfer window.

But Ozil instantly proved he has something to offer when his world class through ball was the catalyst to firing the Gunners ahead.

On his favoured left foot, he unlocked the defence with a pinpoint pass to find Sead Kolasinac at the back post.

The left-back cut the ball back to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who made no mistake to score his 11th league goal of the season.
