(Video) Arsenal 1-0 Aston Villa – Brilliant Ozil assist sets up Giroud goal

Mesut Ozil provided a moment of skill that shows why we paid £42.4m for him as Olivier Giroud puts us 1-0 up against Aston Villa.

Per Mertesacker cleared the ball forward and from a seemingly non-dangerous position Ozil flicked the ball on to eliminate the entire Villa defence and send Giroud on his way.

The Frenchman nearly messed things up, but managed to compose himself in time to find the net and give us the lead in this Premier League clash.
