Mesut Ozil’s wonder-goal caps an epic comeback from Arsenal in Bulgaria
Gunners beat Ludogorets 3-2 to qualify for last 16 of Champions League
Mesut Ozil scored a superb winner as Arsenal came from 2-0 down to beat Ludogorets 3-2 in Sofia on Tuesday and qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League.
Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are the two big names in Group A and both were in a position to advance to the last 16 with two games to spare.
The Gunners did so and the victory keeps them on course to go through as group winners.
Ozil’s wonder strike to secure the victory will steal the headlines as the gifted German ran from deep to complete the comeback in style.
As goalkeeper Milan Borjan ran out of the box to meet him, Ozil lifted the ball over him, sold a dummy to two scrambling defenders and coolly tapped in the winner on 88 minutes.
