Mesut Ozil was completely overshadowed by Dortmund scorers Ciro Immobile (left) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as the German side overpowered Arsenal

Arsenal's Mesut Ozil was given the lowest possible rating by Bild after his performance in last night's defeat to Borussia Dortmund.

The 25-year-old moved to the Emirates for £42.4million last summer and after a fine start, endured a frustrating end to the previous campaign.

The new season has started equally as disappointingly and he was anonymous last night as the Gunners slipped to a 2-0 loss in the Champions League.

And German newspaper Bild have hit out at Ozil in their match ratings.

He was given a rating of 'Picture Note 6' - the lowest possible score that could be given, while it was claimed he "didn't earn his money".

It comes as Arsene Wenger faces pressure from fans to deploy Ozil in his preferred number 10 position.

And Arsenal legend Ian Wright has also had his say and believe the Gunners will get no success unless they switch his role.

He tweeted: "Arsene get Ozil in the middle, get the team to play around him! He's 42 mill worth of player for a reason. Do something with him PLEASE."
