LONDON (Reuters) - It has often been said of Mesut Ozil that since his arrival at Arsenal from Real Madrid in September 2013 the German goes missing in big games. But no such criticism could be levelled at him during a man-of-the-match performance in Saturday’s 2-0 win over arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. By full time, Ozil had moved on to 34 chances created this season and 45 assists since making his Arsenal debut – both more than any other Premier League player. "He has set himself a standard today, in terms of how he has played, in terms of how he has worked,” Neville said on Sky Sports. Will Ozil produce the same level of commitment when Manchester United visit on Dec. 2 and when Chelsea follow on Jan. 3, or will his contribution wane?
