Mesut Ozil hailed Arsenal's "sexy football" after a superb second-half performance earned a 3-1 Premier League victory at home to Leicester City.
The visitors led at the Emirates Stadium on Monday thanks to a Hector Bellerin own goal, but captain Ozil then stamped his authority on the contest.
Ozil stroked home a Bellerin pass to level on the stroke of half time before contributing heavily to two breath-taking goals in three stunning minutes for substitute Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The former Germany international - whose goal took him above Jurgen Klinsmann to become his country's most prolific player in the Premier League - then departed to a standing ovation.
And Ozil was thrilled to justify being given the armband by Unai Emery with a wonderful individual display that saw Arsenal move up to fourth in the Premier League table after a seventh straight win.
