Arsenal boss Emery: Ozil was there for us today

Arsenal boss Unai Emery was happy with Mesut Ozil's performance for their win at Burnley.

The recalled midfielder was also captain for the day.

Emery said, "Very good response. I think he played like we needed, today. His skills, his commitment with us today was very good and he helped us. I spoke yesterday with you in the press conference, we need Mesut Ozil and like today, he was there for us."

The Basque also played down Alexandre Lacazette's strop after being substituted.

"I didn't see that, but I think he is happy with our victory. Only he wanted to score and when a striker doesn't score, I like that he can be angry with his situation. But he worked very well today. For me, the last matches are the best he has played. He is coming back as the best Lacazette to help us."
