| Mesut Ozil has received praise from Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger following the 3-0 win against Zagreb |
ARSENE WENGER insists Mesut Ozil has 'got the taste for scoring now' after producing an 'outstanding first half display' in the 3-0 Champions League win over Dinamo Zagreb.
The 27-year-old German international scored the Gunners' opening goal after he ran from deep to stoop and steer the ball with his head into the corner of the net - before a brace from Alexis Sanchez kept Arsenal's hopes of securing a last 16 spot alive.
Ozil has now been involved in the last 11 Arsenal goals and has been a vital player for Wenger in what has proved to be an injury-hit season so far, and the Gunners boss has praised him for his performances in recent weeks.
"I think Mesut Ozil had an outstanding first half, he has got the taste for scoring now. I have never seen Ozil in the box so many times as in the last five or six games," Wenger told BT Sport.
Wenger also spoke of the final Group F game against Olympiakos and the desire to stay in the competition and get into the knockout stages of the competition.

"It promises to be a very interesting game [against Olympiakos], but at least we have a chance."
"The Europa League is not the target - let us give everything to remain in the Champions League."
