Video: Nuri Sahin’s cheeky nutmeg on Mesut Ozil last night

He does realise it was Mesut Ozil he was embarrassing here. I mean, how dare he?

He does realise it was Mesut Ozil he was embarrassing here. I mean, how dare he?

Arsenal earned themselves a mightily important and pretty significant victory over Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund last night, but at least Nuri Sahin had the consolation of nutmegging Arsenal’s record signing and one of the main inspirations behind their fabulous start to the season.

The former Liverpool flop intercepted Ozil as he tried to make his way out of defence as the Gunners held onto their lead in the second half but after he over-ran the ball, Sahin picked his pocket and then added insult to injury by knocking it casually through his legs before knocking a dangerous ball into the box.

First Xabi Alonso doing it to Zinedine Zidane and now Sahin to Ozil, have players no respect for their superiors anymore?
