About this goal

Another wonderful Arsenal team goal, this one the created by Mesut Ozil, who steps over the ball then collects the pass from Alexandre Lacazette to coolly give Aubameyang the easiest of finishes.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 28/30

 

The pace and movement is unmatched and Ozil's two manoeuvres in this lightning-quick attack are world class.

Technical Difficulty 27/30

 

Only certain teams and players can score goals like this, and Arsenal and Ozil are a devastating combination.

Arsenal's list of team goals is already special, and this one is at the higher end of the scale in terms of inventiveness and ability.

FootballCritic Verdict

8.4

One of two brilliant team goals this season from Arsenal, this one, thanks to Ozil's sheer genius, is probably just superior.
