Mesut Ozil Achieves Premier League Record Overtaking Compatriots Jurgen Klinsmann & Uwe Rosler

Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil broke a record in Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Leicester on Monday, as his goal saw him become the highest scoring German player in Premier League history.

Ozil broke the record as he finished off a lovely Arsenal move on the stroke of half-time to draw the Gunners level against the Foxes. He was then involved in both of Arsenal’s second-half goals, as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice to secure all three points.

It was his 30th Premier League goal, moving him above Tottenham icon Jurgen Klinsmann and Uwe Rosler. Both scored 29 Premier League goals during their career, with the latter scoring his goals for Manchester City and Southampton.
