Mesut Ozil's has shown his frustration after kicking his gloves along the touchline following his substitution in Arsenal's defeat to Manchester City.

The German was taken off by interim manager 

Freddie Ljungberg on 59 minutes, with Emile Smith-

Rowe his replacement.

But the 31-year-old then proceeded to punt his 

gloves 

along the sideline and kick the turf before brushing 

by hands proffered by the Arsenal interim manager 

and Per Mertesacker.

The Arsenal crowd's reaction to the substitution was 

one of more boos that eventually grew a lot louder as 

Ozil made his way off at a leisurely pace.

The boos did not however draw the same reaction 

from the German as Granit Xhaka when he was 

booed off in Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace in October.

But it added further frustration to a disappointing 

season so far for the former Germany international.

Ozil has played just eight Premier League games this

 season, and has yet to find the net and has 

contributed just one assist in those matches which 

came by delivering the corner for Alexandre 

Lacazette's header against Brighton.

The German's only other goal contribution this 

campaign came in his memorable backheel assist to

 Ainsley Maitland-Niles at Anfield in the 5-5 draw 

against Liverpool in the League Cup which the hosts 

went on to win on penalties.

Ozil has not been in the matchday squad for six of 

Arsenal's league fixtures this season, and only played 

in the club's defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt in the 

Europa League group stages.

The incident against Manchester City however was

 the culmination of a disastrous day for the Gunners,

 who lost 3-0 to Pep Guardiola's men.

Kevin de Bruyne scored two fantastic goals while the

 Belgian also set up Raheem Sterling as City got back

 to winning ways.

There was also further bad news for Freddie 

Ljungberg, who lost left-back Sead Kolasinac to 

injury.

The Bosnian's injury comes a day after the club 

confirmed fellow full-back Kieran Tierney would miss 

the next three months with a shoulder injury.

Tierney dislocated his right shoulder in Arsenal's 

victory at West Ham last Monday and will undergo 

surgery in the week
