Arsenal star player, Mezut Ozil, may have scored a first-ever career hat-trick in the club’s 6-0 demolition of Ludogorets in the Uefa Champions League, but the reactions are even more epic.
The Germany star midfielder scored two goals with the right foot in the second half before adding a third with a shot that bounced in front of the goalkeeper before landing at the back of the net.
His goals are coming barely 72hours after netting another sublime goal to mark his 28th birthday and hand Arsenal all three points in the nervy encounter against Swansea in the English Premier League.
Football fans now rate him ahead of legendary French midfielder, Zinedine Zidane, saying the German possesses more skills than the Real Madrid handler during his playing days.
Below are some of the tweets that made the rounds on social media:
Ozil has scored 4 goals in the last 180 mins of football. The whole manutd squad has managed just 1 goal in the last 180 mins!!???

What magic is in Ozil’s left foot?

Watching the Arsenal highlights; there is no way that the Ozil finish where he hits it into the ground is a fluke – does it way too often.

And Ozil’s first touch at his first goal was out of this world. You can’t do it better. Simply superb.
