It looked like Mesut Özil shouted at Arsenal teammates for not apologising to fans

A day to forget for the Arsenal man.

JOE

As seems to often be the case, it was an afternoon to forget for Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

Antonio Conte’s side won the lunchtime kickoff by three goals to one to make it five straight home wins against their opponents from North London.

It is a familiar routine for the Gunners, whose last league win at Chelsea was a 5-3 victory during the 2011/12 season, and the majority of the starting XI from that day are no longer at the club.

Mesut Özil was one of a number of Arsenal players to disappoint in the defeat, but he was noticeably angered by the behaviour of a couple of teammates after the final whistle, or so it seemed.

As Alexis Sánchez and Nacho Monreal walked towards the tunnel, they appeared to turn back in Özil’s direction, with reports from Goal‘s Chris Wheatley suggesting he had called them back to thank (or apologise to) the fans who had turned up in their thousands in hope of a victory.

With many arguing Sánchez was just as disappointing as his German teammate on the pitch, there was some praise for Özil for stamping some kind of authority after the game.

Others, however, were quick to point out that the former Real Madrid man has found himself on the other side of this kind of exchange in the past.
