Arsenal 2018-19: The Season Özil Wore the Number 10
The 2018-19 season was Özil's first with the Arsenal number 10, a shirt he had sought since joining the club in 2013, citing Zinedine Zidane as the player who defined the number for the playmaker position. The season opened with a ten-match winning run in which Özil was central to Arsenal's play. On 22 October 2018, captaining the side against Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium, he scored Arsenal's equaliser with a first-time low half-volley after a one-two with Hector Bellerín, then assisted Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's third goal with an outside-of-the-boot cross, having been directly involved in all three goals in a 3-1 victory. Across the 2018-19 Premier League season he made 24 appearances, scoring 5 goals and providing 2 assists. Arsenal finished fifth and reached the Europa League Final as runners-up.
