Ozil goes off! Arsenal star involved in tunnel bust up

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil booted a door in the tunnel following the Gunners derby defeat to Spurs at White Hart Lane on Sunday.

According to The Telegraph, Ozil had refused to take a drugs test after the match. When officials informed him that he would be fined if he didn't comply with their request, the German international went berserk and kicked a door, with witnesses stating that studs could be seen as a remnant of Ozil's reaction.

With Ozil's recent form, it is no surprise that his temper may have been at breaking point. The North London derby was just another poor outing of late for the 28-year old, who's season has been shrouded in speculation given his reluctance of signing a contract extension.

Ozil has insisted that he is waiting on the Gunners to decide the fate of manager Arsene Wenger before he decides on his own. However, with an apparent lack of interest in his services - Fenerbache are said to have enquired about him - Ozil may be best placed to put aside contractual worries and focus on delivering for his current club on the pitch.
