​Gudjohnsen: Arsenal playmaker Ozil should be embarrassed

Former Chelsea striker Eidur Gudjohnson has blasted Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil.

The Gunners and German star was anonymous as his side suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat in the Europa League final.

Ozil was taken off by boss Unai Emery with 15 minutes to go, replaced by youngster Joe Willock.

And Gudjohnsen did not mince words as he spoke about Ozil's performance.

He said on BT Sport: "The one thing is you tell me if you're the manager of Arsenal… you're 4-1 down in the final you take Ozil off and he's walking at the slowest pace like he's waiting for a standing ovation."

"I'm sorry if that's me I'd feel embarrassed, head down and I sprint off the pitch.

"He's a wonderful player, tremendous quality but as a manager I could never watch that in my team."
