Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho praised Henrikh Mkhitaryan for scoring a "beautiful goal" after the Armenia international produced a stunning, flicked finish in a 3-1 win over Sunderland at Old Trafford on Boxing Day.
Mkhitaryan scored in his third appearance in succession, following on from strikes in the wins against Zorya Luhansk and Tottenham Hotspur. Against Spurs, Mkhitaryan sustained an ankle injury, ruling him out of two games -- but the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder returned in style against Sunderland.
Mourinho told MUTV: "All his career, he's scored beautiful goals. In this moment, there's goals, defensive work, creativity.
