Ozil proved me wrong with his goal, says Wenger

Arsenal had found themselves 2-0 down against Bulgarian opposition in the Champions League on Tuesday night before finding themselves level at 2-2 with just over two minutes of normal time to play.

Just as the Gunners were heading for a disappointing draw, Mesut Ozil went through on goal, flicked the ball over the goalkeeper, cut inside before feining a shot to send two defenders sliding and put the ball into an empty net.

However, Wenger admitted he was worried that the German had made a mistake with his goal.

"To me it didn't look like the optimal solution, but when the ball was in the net I thought it was," said Wenger.

"The great players make the right decisions in the game situations they face. They always make the optimal solution.

"You wanted him to take maybe his chance earlier, but at the end he had enough skill to prove that he was right".
