Two predatory finishes from Theo Walcott put the Gunners in charge but Gylfi Sigurdsson threw Swansea a lifeline before the break.
Ozil’s magic moment came next, a perfectly-executed volley that flew past former Gunner Lukasz Fabianski. Not a bad way to mark your birthday.
But once more the two-goal advantage was squandered, Gonzalez Borja Baston finding space to sweep home from inside the box.
Arsenal’s task was magnified when Granit Xhaka was shown a straight red card, but they survived a few scares to grab all three points.
This was a frantic game that could have been wrapped up much earlier. But the result was the right one - and Arsène Wenger’s side edge closer to the top of the table.
