Is there any way to doubt Mesut Özil's influence as Arsenal's top gun?
The German midfielder managed to score his first career hat-trick against Ludogorets, getting closer to his best goal scoring performance since joining the Gunners two seasons ago.
With their win today, Arsenal have secured the top spot of Group A, considering they have a better goal average than PSG, who defeated Basel 3-0.
Here's how Özil celebrated his first hat-trick on social media.
Boom Bam Arsenal! Brilliant team performance ... & very happy about my first ever hattrick!#YaGunnersYa #WhatADay #AFCvLUD #UCL pic.twitter.com/FBWRZrCxlr

But it wasn't all about scoring goals for the German ace.
1 - Mesut Ozil's assist for Theo Walcott has ended a run of nine Arsenal games without one for the German. Duck.
