Arsenal hat-trick hero Ozil explains goal celebration inspiration

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has explained the inspiration for his goal celebration.

The German hit a hat-trick last night for victory over Ludogorets.

Explaining the celebration, Ozil said: “It's for my brother's daughter Mira, her name starts with an 'M' and she's the first child from my brother and my first niece so she brought a lot of happiness to the family.

“I love her so much and I want to show her how much I love her so when I score a goal, I do this 'M'."
