Arsene Wenger hails record-breaking Arsenal star after Spurs fightback
ARSENE WENGER has hailed Mesut Ozil as a leader for Arsenal after he broke the Premier League's assist record against Tottenham.
The German maestro delivered a pinpoint cross for Kieran Gibbs to score and earn Arsenal a 1-1 draw with their north London rivals.
It meant the 27-year-old became the first player to assist a goal in six consecutive games in a Premier League season.
And Wenger lavished praise on his £42million star.
"Mesut was outstanding again," Wenger said.
