Arsenal boss Unai Emery admits Mesut Ozil didn't deserve a place in his starting XI last night.

Ozil, the highest-paid player in the history of the club, was again left out of the matchday squad as Gabriel Martinelli hit a brace in the 4-0 Europa League victory over Standard Liege.

"I am thinking every time to decide the best players for each match and the best players in the squad to play and to help us," Emery replied when asked about Ozil's omission.

"When I decided he shouldn't be in the squad it's because I think other players deserved it more.

"He needs to continue working. Tomorrow we have training with the players who didn't play, and on Sunday we have another match, and we are going to decide the same.

"Our target is to win on Sunday against Bournemouth, and we want to carry on our same way in each match."
