Bellerin: No issue with Ozil
Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has come out to deny a rift with team-mate Mesut Ozil after their on-pitch row during the Gunners' win over Stoke on Sunday.
Cameras picked up the incident between the two players with the German unhappy with Bellerin's pass which was played too late with Ozil in an offside position.
However, the two seem to have patched things up quite quickly, at least that is what Bellerin told 'Sky Sports' after the match.
"We are two passionate players and we love the game, and you get into those situations," the defender explained. "Straight after the game, we were hugging each other. It happens and what happens on the pitch, stays on the pitch.
"I think he said something like 'you talk too much' and to be fair, if I was a guy playing alongside myself, I do probably talk a bit too much!
"But I always want to give information to the players in front of me and I want players to demand from me as well. That is how it works.
Bellerin continued: "We only have a pair of eyes so, when you have players around you that can give you information, it is always important.
"It is normal to always get into things like that in games, this time the cameras picked it up. This is part of football, it happens every day and once it finishes, we are all friends again."
Despite the early frustrations, Arsenal went on to win the game 3-0 and will now turn their attention to a visit from CSKA Moscow in the Europa League on Thursday.
