Mesut Ozil marks Arsenal debut with assist as Olivier Giroud gives Gunners lead
Mesut Ozil has marked his first Arsenal appearance with an assist, as Olivier Giroud gave the Gunners an 11th-minute lead at Sunderland.
Arsenals record transfer deadline day signing missed training yesterday, having complained of illness following his return from international duty.
But after a late assessment, Ozil was cleared to make his first appearance for Arsenal and got his career at the club off to a flying start as he squared a pass for the onrushing Giroud to fire home.
Other debutants around the Premier League include Christian Eriksen, who is handed a starting place in the Tottenham line up as they host Norwich, and Victor Anichebe who starts for West Brom at Fulham.
This evening, both Samuel Etoo and Willian could feature for Chelsea as they face Everton, while the Toffees could themselves hand debuts to Gareth Barry and James McCarthy.
Meanwhile, Marouane Fellaini made his first appearance for Manchester United today after coming on as a second half substitute in their 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.
