Summary Mesut Ozil scored a stunning winner as Arsenal fought back from 2 goals down to beat Ludogorets 3-2

SOFIA, BULGARIA (AFP) Mesut Ozil scored a stunning winner as Arsenal fought back from two goals down to beat Ludogorets 3-2 in Sofia and secure their place in the last 16 for the 17th season in succession.

Jonathan Cafu put the Bulgarian champions ahead and then set up Claudiu Keseru to make it 2-0 to Ludogorets inside quarter of an hour.

However, Granit Xhaka and Olivier Giroud scored to haul the Gunners back level before the break, before Ozil s fine solo effort won it two minutes from time.

The German ran through, chipped goalkeeper Milan Borjan and cut inside two defenders before slotting in from close range.
