Mesut Ozil fired Arsenal to a five-one friendly win over Paris Saint-Germain today as he cast aside a turbulent week after quitting Germany’s national team claiming racism.
Ozil put Arsenal ahead in the thirteenth minute before Alexandre Lacazette’s quick fire double and late strikes from Rob Holding and Eddie Nketiah against a youthful PSG side.
The International Champions Cup win in Singapore was also a boost for Arsenal’s new manager Unai Emery against his former club, now under Germany’s Thomas Tuchel.
Ozil, who is of Turkish heritage, sent shockwaves through Germany this week when he quit the national team complaining of “racism and disrespect” from football authorities
