Ozil Hat Trick
By Matty Sadler
October 20 2016
Strange first half as we certainly weren't at our best and Ludogorets had two or three really good opportunities to score, but we went in 2-0 up after well taken goals from the impressive Alexis and the hardworking, in-form Walcott.
We shot out of the blocks at the start of the second half, making it 3-0 early on before Ozil scored a very well taken hat trick.
I didn't think we were particularly amazing tonight but, as the scoreline suggests, we showed uncharacteristic ruthlessness in the second half that has given us a very healthy win. On to Middlesbrough on Saturday.
Ospina - 7. One comfortable save and twice off his line well in the first half. Spectator in the second half.
Bellerin - 7. Solid defensively. Not the usual attacking force in the first half but got forward more as the game wore on.
Mustafi - 6. Shaky at times in the first half but improved in the second half.
Koscielny - 7. Shaky at times in the first half but immense in the second half.
Gibbs - 7. Solid defensively and did well for Oxlade-Chamberlain's goal.
*Coquelin - 9. My Man of the Match tonight. Read the danger, intercepted and passed well. Immense.
Cazorla - 6. Seemed to struggle with the pace of the game in the first half, though I'm told apparently he was seen limping at some point. Played a great ball over the top to Ozil for his first goal in the second half.
Walcott - 7. Often wasteful in the final third, but scored a quality goal at the end of the first half. Defensive work rate was excellent again.
Ozil - 9. Quiet first half before finding Walcott excellently for his goal. Superb in the second half as his influence grew and he scored a well taken hat trick.
Oxlade-Chamberlain - 7. So-so first half where he played a part in the first goal but also wasted a great opportunity to square the ball to Walcott for a tap-in. Much better in the second half as he finished well early on and played a part in Ozil's second goal.
Alexis - 8. Scored a superb opening goal and was a nightmare for the Ludogorets defence all evening.
Subs:
Elneny - 6. Slotted straight into midfield as seamlessly as we've come to expect.
Lucas - 6. Two good assists for Ozil but should've scored right at the end.
Iwobi - 5. Okay but didn't do a great deal.
Bellerin - 7. Solid defensively. Not the usual attacking force in the first half but got forward more as the game wore on.

Coquelin lets a lot of players look good. I think he was Motm too but lets keep it a secret

He didn't get it immediately but since he has understood this "defensive box-to-box" role Wenger has us playing he's been brilliant.
