Once again, Mesut Özil led the way for Arsenal as the Gunners breezed past Stoke City.
Despite needing to come from behind after Charlie Adam's PK, Theo Walcott, Alex Iwobi and the German playmaker scored to keep Arsenal at the top of the table, waiting for Chelsea's Sunday match to know exactly where they will be sitting when this Matchday ends.
Özil managed to send the ball into the back of the net as the second half begun by sending a header way over Lee Grant. Considering that having Özil score a goal with his head is rather strange, the German shared his joy via Twitter and slapped a couple of haters in the face.
