Arsenal news: Mesut Ozil becomes fastest player to reach 50 Premier League assists

Mesut Ozil has become the fastest player to reach 50 assists in Premier League history.

The Arsenal midfielder curled in a beautiful free-kick in the first half of their game on Sunday against Watford, which Shkodran Mustafi duly headed home.

The German has established himself as on the most creative players in Europe over recent seasons, and has needed just 141 Premier League games to reach the landmark.

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona previously held the record, requiring 143 games to notch up 50 assists.

While Ozil may well be the quickest to reach 50, he still has some way to reach the very top of the pile.
