Mesut Ozil was quick to thank Freddie Ljungberg for his support after the Swede and his players enjoyed a first win in over two months.

The Gunners looked to be heading for another damaging defeat when they fell behind against West Ham but an equaliser from Gabriel Martinelli set up a stunning comeback that was completed inside nine minutes by Nicolas Pepe and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

After the 3-1 win, Ozil faced the Sky Sports cameras. Here’s what he had to say.

On the performance…

Especially in the second half, we showed what we can do on the pitch if we believe in ourselves. We deserved to win and we are now happy, especially for our supporters.

On goalscorers Martinelli and Pepe…

We are happy for them. We know they have the quality they showed today and we are happy they scored important goals for us. We will continue fighting hard to reach our goal for the season.

On the new manager…

He was a football player and he understands us as players. he has already shown his quality as a coach and we are thankful we have him. Today was a successful day for him and us. It is always hard for the club to change the coach. Freddie is a young coach and he is always there for us, which is what we need.
