Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Mesut Ozil is the player capable of making a key pass during close games.
He may not dominate or dictate for 90 minutes but his contribution can be decisive. Saturday's win over Cardiff was a case in point.
"When it comes to key passes he is the man," said Wenger. "When he has the ball I [know as a player I can] make the run. It's what you call understanding, you understand that there are situations where he will see you and where he'll deliver the perfect weight of the pass.
"The Flamini goal [at Cardiff] is a perfect example of that. It's a combination of vision and weight of the pass. Of course it's not a coincidence that in every league he plays, he has the most assists because he has those two qualities."
