Henrikh Mkhitaryan has won December's Premier
League goal of the month award for his 'scorpion
kick' volley against Sunderland.
The Armenian international produced the acrobatic
effort for United's third goal in a 3-1 win over the
Black Cats at Old Trafford .
Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness debate who
scored the better scorpion kick, Olivier Giroud or
Mkhitaryan
Mkhitaryan - a summer signing from Borussia
Dortmund - flicked the ball from behind him with his
right foot and into the corner, despite being offside
from Zlatan Ibrahimovic's cross.
Speaking about the strike, Jose Mourinho told Sky
Sports : "It was beautiful. It's a pity that it's the third
goal in the game and not a phenomenal goal to win a
great match, because that would be in Manchester
United history.
Manchester United’s Mkhitaryan produced a
contender for goal of the season in their 3-1 win over
Sunderland on Boxing Day
"It's always good for him, he was playing very well,
he had that injury that stopped his evolution, but then
he comes back, plays 35 minutes and well, and
shows that he is ready to be back to the level that
he himself created expectation to all of us, because
he is doing great things."
