Mesut Ozil has fired a thinly-veiled jibe at a Tottenham fan after he mocked the Arsenal star on social media.

The supporter posted a picture of the Tottenham team before their pre-season game against Juventus - which at first glance appeared to be missing a player - and joked: 'Why was Ozil in our team photo?'

The joke is in reference to the popular opinion that the German midfielder has little impact in big games and goes 'invisible'.

Mesut Ozil gave a Tottenham fan a taste of his own medicine after he mocked him on Twitter

Ozil decided to give the fan a taste of his own medicine by mocking Tottenham for their failure to win a trophy in recent years.

He wrote on Twitter: 'If you look closely... you can see your trophy cabinet.'

Tottenham haven't won a trophy since their League Cup triumph in the 2007-08 season.

Mauricio Pochettino almost guided them to European glory last season but they were edge out 2-0 by Liverpool in the Champions League final.

Arsenal, meanwhile, have won three FA Cups and three Community Shields since the last time Tottenham lifted a trophy over 12 years ago.
