ARSENE WENGER hailed a superb display from Mesut Ozil in Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, but has urged the German to score more goals. Olivier Giroud's stunning volley and a Damien Delaney own goal ensured Arsenal bounced back from their opening-day defeat to West Ham and registered their first three points of the campaign.
Giroud's strike was the most eye-catching moment in the match, but Wenger has hailed playmaker Ozil as the stand-out player at Selhurst Park.
However, the French tactician admits he'd like to see more goals from the 26-year-old this season, with just 12 strikes to his name since joining two years ago.
"It is a pleasure to watch the quality of his passing and the intelligence of his passing," Wenger said.
"What I want from him is a few more goals this season.
"For the rest of the build-up in the game he was magnificent.
"He works harder than people think he does. He is not spectacular in his defending but he wants to do the job, he wants to help the team.
"What I liked in his game today was he made many runs without the ball behind the defenders which is a bit new as he likes to come with the ball but today he mixed up his game better."

JOSE MOURINHO admits the decision to take John Terry off at half-time during the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City was tactical. The Blues boss replaced his captain with 20-year-old Kurt Zouma, with Chelsea 1-0 down at the time after Sergio Aguero's opener.
Mourinho wanted to add pace to his back-line and believes his decision was justified, despite going on to concede another two goals at the Etihad.
"It was a decision. Zouma is the fastest defender we have in the squad," Mourinho said.
"I know Man City are going to play counter attack and Zouma is a different player to John and I was proven right because Zouma was in complete control.
"John is a player I have total trust for, with me he was never substituted, with other managers he was not selected and people thought his Chelsea career was over.
"If a manager has the right, I do, because I gave the chance to make him what he is, a fantastic player and a fantastic captain.
"One point from six is better than zero and worse than two.
"I am okay in mathematics, multiply 36 by three and I know how much it gives, I know the championship is more than mathematically open."
