Mesut Ozil, Arsenal Rout PSG Behind Strong 2nd Half in 2018 ICC

Mesut Ozil scored on his return to Arsenal action as the Gunners beat Paris Saint-Germain 5-1 at Singapore's National Stadium in the 2018 International Champions Cup on Saturday.

The German was named captain as Arsenal head coach Unai Emery took on his former club, and Ozil opened the scoring in the 13th minute of an entertaining clash.

The impressive Christopher Nkunku equalised from the spot for Thomas Tuchel's side on the hour, but a quick-fire double from substitute Alexandre Lacazette put Arsenal firmly in control.

Rob Holding's 16-yard lopping header and Eddie Nketiah's pinpoint drive put the icing on the cake as Arsenal ran riot late on.
