MESUT ÖZIL IS off and running in the Premier League with an assist to his name in an away win over Sunderland.
The German international, signed from Real Madrid during the summer transfer window, controlled a long ball over the top and laid on a superbly weighted pass for French striker Olivier Giroud. The crisp finish put the Gunners 1-0 up at the Stadium of Light:
Craig Gardner levelled matters for the Black Cats just after the break but Aaron Ramsey restored the one-goal advantage on 69 minutes. The Welsh midfielder made it 3-1 after finishing off a fine team move.
Arsenal’s North London rivals, Spurs were also grateful for a debut assist as they took a first-half lead against Norwich at White Hart Lane. Christian Eirksen, signed from Ajax, set up Gyfli Sigurdsson to slam home the opener. The Icelandic international doubled the Spurs lead after the break.
