MESUT OZIL was left delighted last night after netting his first professional hat-trick.
Arsenal’s star playmaker bagged his treble in the space of 31 second-half minutes in the Gunners’ 6-0 thrashing of Ludogorets.
The Bulgarian club couldn’t cope with the Germany international as he continued his prolific form in front of goal.
Ozil already has three strikes in seven Premier League appearances this season, including one on Saturday against Swansea.

Manager Arsene Wenger also hailed the confident performance of Ozil, putting his goal rush down to him driving forward more.
And after getting off the mark in the Champions League in style, the 28-year-old took to social media to reveal his jubilation - and show where he’s taken the match ball.
Ozil tweeted: “Boom Bam Arsenal! Brilliant team performance… and very happy about my first ever hat-trick! #WhatADay
He then added: “Goodnight Gunners. Took this one [the match ball] home with me tonight. #SafestPlace #TheBestOrNothing.”

The Arsenal midfielder gave fans a glimpse into the dressing room joy and his home life after last night’s triumph.
Ozil's team-mates all saluted him by paying tribute to his traditional on-field celebration and debut treble.
Taking home his first match ball, Ozil will now be looking ahead to his next chance at getting on the scoresheet.
Arsenal take on Middlesbrough at the Emirates on Saturday (3pm), and the German is expected to start in Wenger’s Premier League side.
