Theo Walcott: 'Mesut Ozil makes things easy'

Theo Walcott has hailed his teammate Mesut Ozil following Arsenal's 2-1 win over title rivals Manchester City tonight.

Both of the home side's goals were set up by the German playmaker, who has now assisted 15 goals in the Premier League this term.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, striker Walcott said: "He sees things that others don't see on the pitch. He knows what he's going to do before he does it. You just have to make that run.

"When you've got special players on the pitch that provide special moments, it makes our job so much more easier. It's a team game, but you need these players in your team."

The Premier League record for most assists in one season is held by ex-Gunner Thierry Henry, who laid on 20 during the 2002-03 campaign.
