Mesut Ozil marked his 28th birthday with a trip to Tape nightclub in London on Saturday night.

The night out capped a memorable day for the German World Cup winner, who had earlier played a key role in the Gunners' win over Swansea in the Premier League.

Ozil scored what proved to be the decisive goal of the match, netting the hosts' third in their 3-2 win at the Emirates.

The former Real Madrid man donned a grey jumper, dark skinny jeans and a black baseball cap as he hit Mayfair in the hours after the match.

Ozil's birthday was seemingly full of special moments.

Earlier in the day he was left emotional when shown a video containing messages from teammates past and present wishing him a happy birthday.

Xabi Alonso, Luka Modric and Sergio Ramos, who played alongside Ozil at Real Madrid, Jerome Boateng, Lukas Podolski, Ilkay Gundogan and Granit Xhaka all sent their well wishes to the playmaker, as did a host of his colleagues at Arsenal.
