Arsene Wenger looks for more goals from Mesut Ozil despite netting in much-needed win over Watford
The Germany international as well as Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez scored as Arsenal recorded a 3-1 win at Vicarage Road in the Premier League on Saturday
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has urged Mesut Ozil to build on his scoring start to the season after admitting the one element the midfielder’s game has lacked is goals.
Ozil, Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez were on target in the Gunners’ 3-1 Premier League win at Watford on Saturday, which was their first victory of the campaign.
It was only the Germany international’s 21st goal for the north London club since joining them from Real Madrid in 2013, and Wenger admitted that for a player widely regarded as world class, it is an area he can still improve.
Asked if Ozil’s presence had made a difference for the Gunners, Wenger replied: “Especially in the first half. In the second half he dropped physically. But of course we need him.
“I think what we have seen from him today is what we want from him. To give assists but as well to score goals.
