As if to capture Arsenal’s miserable defeat against Crystal Palace in microcosm, here’s the moment Mesut Ozil took his time, looked up, surveyed the lay of the land in an instant and pinged a truly sumptuous trademark pass out to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on the left wing.
Unfortunately for the floaty light German midfielder, the Ox had yet to come on as a substitute at that point…
