Ozil praises young Arsenal teammates after FA Cup win

Mesut Ozil praised his young Arsenal teammates after their FA Cup win over Bournemouth on Monday night.

Homegrown youngsters Bukayo Saka, 18, and Eddie Nketiah, 20, struck to secure victory over Eddie Howe's struggling Bournemouth.

And 20-year-old Joe Willock was involved in both goals as Gabriel Martinelli, 18, also got another start under his belt. The only downside for Arsenal was that Shkodran Mustafi had to be stretchered off after suffering an ankle injury, which will be assessed on Tuesday.

Ozil wrote on Twitter: "Great job guys. We made it to the 5th round. One sad news we had this evening... Get well soon."
