Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger explains why Mesut Ozil impressed against Everton

Wenger added: ”We should have been 2-0 or 3-0 up, but we were 1-0 down. We didn’t panic and maintained our focus. Once we equalised, it was all us for the rest of the game.

“I was [concerned] because recently we’ve been punished for every mistake we make away from home. But I knew there was a long time to go.

“Our away performances this season have not been rewarded.”
