Arsenal were superb in their 6-0 hammering of Ludogorets in the Champions League on Wednesday night, and one man more so than anyone.
Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain may have bagged the first three Gunners goals, but it was Mesut Ozil who finished off the Bulgarians with a hat-trick .
Becoming the fifth Gunners player to score a treble in the competition - joining the likes of Nicklas Bendtner and Danny Welbeck on an illustrious list - the German shone as Arsene Wenger's side dismantled their opposition.
And given that Ozil is Ozil and Arsenal are Arsenal, Gunners fans were unsurprisingly all over social media.
Following Mesut Ozil's hat trick this evening Twitter is operating with a 50% lag

"Ozil is so bad he cover up being bad by scoring goals and assisting."
Nope, didn't get that one either
If you were a manager and could choose between Ozil and Zidane for your team, what number would Ozil wear?
— Sagna Boy (@SagnaBoy) October 19, 2016
Well to be fair, Zidane is 44 years old
OZIL HAT-TRICK LIFE IS COMPLETE!!!!

His supposed new contract was discussed
Give Ozil £300K I don't even care

As was a skill he APPARENTLY INVENTED
Ozil has invented a new type of shot hasn't he?! Love those hit-into-the-ground-first shots. Coq, Ox excellent. Positive Perez cameo too

The amount of times Ozil scores by knocking the ball into the ground so it bounces over the keeper isn't a coincidence. It's a skill.
