Lukas Podolski and Mesut Ozil both scored for their respective sides this weekend

Imagine waking up on Monday and hearing the news of Lukas Podolski and Mesut Ozil netting on Sunday. You'd probably think you've somehow ended up in a time machine that took you back to some 2013 or so. But, guess what, you're not a time traveller, and they are alive and kicking, only not with Arsenal anymore (they made 244 appearances and scored 52 goals for the Londoners combined).

The former Gunners and Die Mannschaft duo are still enjoying their playing career, despite being in their mid-30's. Albeit Germans, both of them returned to their roots - Podolski, 36, signing for the Polish side Gornik Zabrze, and Ozil, 33, joining the Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

The striker of Polish origins nailed one in a vital game, against the favourites Legia Warsaw for a 3-2 home win. This was his first-ever goal for his club. On the other hand, Ozil's equaliser provided his Fener with a comeback that ended up in a vital 2-1 win against the archrivals Galatasaray.
