ReutersHenrikh Mkhitaryan said his sensational “scorpion” goal in Manchester
United’s 3-1 win against Sunderland on Boxing Day was “the best I’ve
ever scored”.
The Armenian, returning from injury, brought the house down at Old
Trafford with a stunning piece of improvisation that his manager Jose
Mourinho called “phenomenal”.Mkhitaryan flicked up his right heel to connect with Zlatan
Ibrahimovic’s cross for United’s third goal and said: “I had a great
feeling. It was a little Christmas magic – the best I’ve ever scored.”But United could make up no ground on Antonio Conte’s leaders
Chelsea. Their 3-0 triumph over Bournemouth was a club-record 12th
successive Premier League victory.Manchester City moved into second spot after winning 3-0 at Hull,
while Arsenal needed a late Olivier Giroud goal to beat West Brom 1-0.
