Midfielder of Arsenal and Armenian national team Henrikh Mkhitaryan created his own small slice of Manchester United history on Sunday when he scored on his return to Old Trafford, Metro reported.
The midfielder sliced in Arsenal’s equaliser in the second half and the goal marked the first time a player had scored for and against United in a single Premier League season. Mkhitaryan scored while playing for United against Everton way back in September.
"Henrikh Mkhitaryan is the first player to score for and against Manchester United in the same Premier League season. Devilish," Opta tweeted.
Arsenal was defeated by Manchester United in the Premier League match 2:1. Manchester United opened the score in the 16th minute with Paul Pogba making the kick. At the beginning of the second half the Armenian international kicked a superb goal and equalized the score. Mkhitaryan did not celebrate the goal. Mkhitaryan was substituted in the 76th minute. Fellaini scored the final goal for Manchester United in the extra minute.
