Arsenal and Manchester United fans went into meltdown on Sunday night as Mesut Ozil assisted Bastian Schweinsteiger during Germany’s 2-0 defeat of Ukraine.
It was a hard-fought victory for Joachim Low’s side in their opening Group C fixture and they had to rely on defensive heroics from Jerome Boateng and Manuel Neuer at the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium in Lille.
