Arsenal FC news: 'We haven't forgotten how to win, there's life in the old lady yet!' - Mesut Ozil on win over West Ham

Arsenal FC news:

Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil has taken to social media to tell fans: 'There's life in the old lady yet.'

The Gunners returned to winning ways on Wednesday when they beat Premier League strugglers West Ham 3-0 at the Emirates.

The German scored the opening goal in north London before going on to set up Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud later added a third.

It came after Arsene Wenger's pre-match programme notes reminded fans how the club is not in a relegation fight. They proved a point to their critics, despite a difficult first half, beating a struggling Hammers side without a win in seven and on the back of a five-match losing run.

Ozil has been criticised for his part in Arsenal's demise in 2017, often accused of hiding in games, and he missed nearly a month from February to March due to injury and illness.

The German said on Twitter: "No, we haven't forgotten how to win @Arsenal #COYG #Thereslifeintheoldladyyet" [see below]
