Arsenal came out on top in the battle of the Barclays Premier League title favourites as goals from Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud beat Manchester City 2-1 at Emirates Stadium.
Ozil Man of the Match
Mesut Ozil was, again deservedly, Man of the Match today. Two assists and a tremendous amount of defensive work made him an obvious choice but you can see how important he is the minute he goes off the pitch. He's so calm, assured and reliable on the ball - Arsenal can play to him and know that he won't lose it, and more often than not, can create something at the same time.
David Silva, the player he was being compared with earlier, was marked out of the game by Flamini and in the moments he did get the ball near the Arsenal goal wasn't able to create anything of note. He's still a class act but Ozil enjoyed himself tonight.
Arsene Wenger, manager of Arsenal gives instructions from the touchline
"Win strengthens our belief." Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger happy with how his side dug in to claim victory over title rivals Man City.
