ARSENE WENGER admits he thought Mesut Ozil had taken too long on the ball before scoring Arsenal's winner tonight.
Arsenal recorded a 3-2 win over Ludogorets in the Champions League to book themselves a spot in the last-16 of the competition.
The north London outfit found themselves two goals behind after just 15 minutes, before Granit Xhaka and Olivier Giroud levelled the scores before the break.
And it wasn't until the 87th minute when Ozil delivered the goods for Arsenal to ensure they left with all three points.

Mesut Ozil scored a late winner for Arsenal in BulgariaOzil found himself in space after Mohamed Elneny's lofted pass beat Ludogorets' back line.
But the German still had plenty to do as he chipped the ball over the goalkeeper, before rounding two defenders and eventually slotting the ball into the net.
Much to Wenger's relief though, Ozil made the right decision at a crucial time.
"That's the strength of the great players, they make the right decisions,” Arsene Wenger said.
