Iwobi has become a first-team regular since breaking into Arsene Wenger’s plans last term and Ozil has been impressed by the impact he has made. “He reminds me of his uncle, Okocha,” Ozil told Arsenal Player. “He was a player I loved watching. Alex reminds me of a mixture of him and Davids. He is really strong on the ball, also defensively, but he is good in front of goal too....

The Germany international has been a prodigious provider of goals since swapping Real Madrid for the Emirates Stadium in 2014. And he was once again crucial on Sunday as his free-kick found the head of Shkodran Mustafi to open the scoring. It was Ozil’s 50th Premier League assist, a milestone he has achieved in record time. The playmaker needed just 141 games to reach his half-century, fewer than any other player in the competition’s history....

The Gunners are confident that Ozil will not sign a pre-contract with a foreign club in January, with Alexis Sanchez and Jack Wilshere in the same position as their contracts also expire in the summer. Talks over a renewal for Ozil were put on hold back in February last year due to the uncertainty surrounding manager Arsene Wenger’s own contract situation. However, when the Frenchman renewed his deal by a further two years at the end of May, there was no decision taken to resume talks with any of the aforementioned trio....

Yes, McCarthy’s firing was inevitable after consecutive losses to Seattle, Minnesota and, most damaging, at home to lowly Arizona. His record of nine playoff appearances in 13 seasons was impressive, but the last two years have been difficult, and at 4-7-1 this season, the Packers are not going to make a playoff run. While I have a hard time believing McCarthy is a coach whose message and strategies have gone stale, I can understand the push for change in Green Bay after so many years....

But here we are again. Green Bay fell to a disappointing 2-2-1 after Sunday’s loss in Detroit. Instead of gaining ground on the idle Bears in the division, the Packers saw the Lions move to a half-game behind them and the victorious Vikings pull even.
