Arsenal interim manager Freddie Ljungberg has criticised Mesut Ozil for his unacceptable behaviour after being substituted against Manchester City.

The Swede told reporters he would have dropped the midfielders for Saturday's clash with Everton had he not been injured after he reacted angrily when taken off against the Premier League champions:

"For me, I got asked after the game about Mesut. He walked off the pitch [in the Man City game] and then kicked his gloves. The fans were not happy.

"I got asked about it and said, 'At Arsenal, that's not how we behave and not what we do'.
