Özil and Mustafi victorious with Arsenal

Mesut Özil and Shkodran Mustafi helped Arsenal to a 2-0 win over Basel on matchday 2 in the Champions League, leaving them level with Paris-Saint Germain with four points atop of Group A. Ilkay Gündogan started as Manchester City came from behind three times to draw 3-3 away in a thrilling encounter at 47-time Scottish champions Celtic.

Theo Walcott set the Gunners on the road to victory early on, before doubling his tally midway through the first half to put his side out of sight. The hosts were dominant from beginning to end, with the Swiss side causing few problems. Arsenal had plenty of chances to extend their lead, but will be satisfied with three points.

The fans at a packed-out Celtic Park were treated to a real classic. The Glasgow club took the lead on three separate occasions: twice through Moussa Dembéle either side of a Raheem Sterling own goal. But the Cityzens bounced back each time through Fernandinho, Sterling again and Nolito.
