| Arsene Wenger wants to see more goals from Mesut Ozil this season |
ARSENE WENGER hailed a superb display from Mesut Ozil in Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, but has urged the German to score more goals.
Olivier Giroud's stunning volley and a Damien Delaney own goal ensured Arsenal bounced back from their opening-day defeat to West Ham and registered their first three points of the campaign.
Giroud's strike was the most eye-catching moment in the match, but Wenger has hailed playmaker Ozil as the stand-out player at Selhurst Park.
However, the French tactician admits he'd like to see more goals from the 26-year-old this season, with just 12 strikes to his name since joining two years ago.
"It is a pleasure to watch the quality of his passing and the intelligence of his passing," Wenger said.
"What I want from him is a few more goals this season.
"For the rest of the build-up in the game he was magnificent.
"He works harder than people think he does. He is not spectacular in his defending but he wants to do the job, he wants to help the team.
"What I liked in his game today was he made many runs without the ball behind the defenders which is a bit new as he likes to come with the ball but today he mixed up his game better."
