1. Ending Arsenal's trophy blues 

Ozil moved to Arsenal in 2013 after a successful spell at Real Madrid. However, the transfer was a very big step for the Gunners, who had failed to clinch a trophy since 2005. In Ozil's first season in London, the German broke the deadlock for Arsene Wenger's team. Ozil found the net once and provided two assists in Arsenal's FA Cup triumph and also played a vital role in their 3-2 comeback against Hull City in the final, sealing Arsenal's first trophy in nine years.
