Mesut Ozil has picked out his favourite goal that he has scored for Arsenal in a message on social media.


Despite being better known for his creative prowess and unselfishly providing assists for his teammates, the 31-year-old has scored some spectacular goals during his time at the Emirates.

The German midfielder has netted 44 goals in 253 appearances since moving to north London from Real Madrid in 2013.


And Ozil has now named his personal favourite from his time in a red and white shirt.







Taking to his Instagram account, Ozil uploaded an animated video of his goal against Ludogorets in the Champions League group stage in November 2016.

The late goal sealed a 3-2 win for Arsene Wenger's side against the Bulgarians, and saw them progress to the last-16 stage.

Ludogorets had taken a surprise two-goal lead within 15 minutes, through Jonathan Cafu and Claudiu Keseru.

But Granit Xhaka and Olivier Giroud responded for the Gunners before half-time, before Ozil capped off the comeback with a sensational solo effort with three minutes remaining.

Ozil ran onto a Mohamed Elneny through ball before chipping the ball over goalkeeper Borjan’s head and dummying his way past two defenders. The former German international then slid the ball into the empty net.

The caption on his post read: "Found this one today. My favourite goal of my career so far."

Ozil also reminded supporters to follow the Government's coronavirus guidelines.

"At least there’s some time to watch a couple of games from the past during the lockdown," he added.

"Whatever you are doing right now... make sure you stay at home! #StayHomeSaveLives #M1Ö."
