Henrikh Mkhitaryan calls his scorpion kick goal 'my best ever' as he revels in 'Christmas magic' on Boxing Day

Henrikh Mkhitaryan said his sensational 'scorpion' goal in Manchester United's 3-1 win against Sunderland yesterday 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.
