WATCH: Arsenal's Mesut Ozil's Emotional Birthday Message Video

Arsenal ace Mesut Ozil turned 28 yesterday and he marked his birthday by bagging a goal in their 3-2 win against Swansea City, and shortly after posted a emotional video.

Picking up all three points place Arsenal level at the top on 19 alongside Manchester City. Ozil's strike improved his goal tally to three guiding The Gunners to victory despite playing the latter stage of the game with 10 men following Granit Xhaka's sending off.

Meanwhile, the German shared a five-minute clip of current and past colleagues wishing him a happy birthday along with his reaction. The brilliant montage includes the likes of Xabi Alonso, Sami Khedira, Emre Can, Sergio Ramos, among others.

Accompanied with this message; "Thank you to all my friends, teammates and of course my fans for your overwhelming birthday wishes. I'd like to share this special video from my team with you - what a surprise! I'm blessed to have you all!"

Fair to say Ozil had a pretty good birthday.
