‘Mesut said that I could take the free-kick!’

Granit Xhaka scored his first free-kick for us on Saturday with an absolute beauty into the top corner from 25 yards.
Mesut Ozil added a coolly-taken second and both goalscorers spoke after the game. Here’s what they said:
on whether that was almost a perfect away performance…
GX: No, not really. I think it was a difficult start for us in the first 20 minutes. After, we were in the game. The second half went very well for us and I think it was an important three points for us.
on if there was any doubt about who’d take the free-kick for the first goal…
GX: Yeah, Mesut said as well that I could shoot! We try it a lot in training and I was happy to score.
