Welcome back, Mesut.

Arsenal supporters rejoiced on Sunday as German midfielder Mesut Ozil made his long-awaited return to the pitch, coming on as a second-half substitute in the team's 3-0 win over Stoke City.

Ozil missed three months with a partially torn LCL in his left knee.

Ozil replaced Olivier Giroud in the 72nd minute, stepping foot on the pitch to a raucous ovation from the crowd at the Emirates.
