Mesut Ozil is one of the stars of the Premier League and has been since the day he arrived from Real Madrid. He made his breakthrough at the 2010 World Cup, after which he was taken to the Spanish capital from Werder Bremen.
On this day in 2008, two years before his big move, Ozil was already making waves in Germany, and the official Bundesliga Twitter account posted this video of the midfielder making a name for himself as a 19 year old, scoring the winner in a 5-4 thriller.
