In fact, Ozil's unparallelled performance led Arsenal fans to delve into the depths of social media to find the correct praise for the German.
James Maddison, on the losing side on Monday, had praised the 'Gunners' midfielder months ago, when he played for Championship side Norwich.
In March, Maddison wrote on Twitter that Ozil was a "special special footballer" after Arsenal's victory against AC Milan in the Europa League.
Arsenal fans picked up on the tweet, sharing it and also replying with messages such as "you practically stopped playing and watched him all through the game" and "Hope you were taking notes tonight on the pitch".
