Hector Bellerin and Mesut Ozil have hugged and made up after their on-field spat during Sunday's win over Stoke City.

Cameras caught the Arsenal teammates exchanging words after the Spanish defender played a pass to an offside Ozil. The German later told Bellerin that he talks too much.

Arsenal went on to win the encounter 3-0, with Bellerin later revealing there's no hard feelings between the two and admitting his efforts to help teammates can sometimes be misconstrued.

"Straight after the game, we were hugging each other," Bellerin told Sky Sports. "It happens and what happens on the pitch, stays on the pitch.

"I think he said something like 'you talk too much' and to be fair, if I was a guy playing alongside myself, I do probably talk a bit too much! But I always want to give information to the players in front of me and I want players to demand from me as well. That is how it works.

"We only have a pair of eyes so, when you have players around you that can give you information, it is always important."
