Twitter reacts to Mkhitaryan's superb goal giving Manchester United a crucial win over Tottenham

The Armenian scored his second goal in as many games

Manchester United earned a crucial win over Tottenham Hotspur with a 1-0 win at Old Trafford. Henrikh Mkhitaryan carried on from his Europa League heroics, scoring the only goal of the game with a stunning finish from Ander Herrera’s pass, with United holding on right until the end to finally win in the Premier League after a poor run recently.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to the game :

Clearly, Mkhitaryan’ s goal was much loved by Manchester United fans...

14 - Number of goals Henrikh Mkhitaryan must score today in order to not get dropped by Jose Mourinho. Pressure.

Same here, I had to look it up, so why don't we just call him Dave? https://t.co/yvgxig6QrF

Mkhitaryan is better than Ozil, best number 10 in the world right now. WORLD CLASS GOAL FROM A WORLD CLASS PLAYER! #MUNTOT @ManUtd

Mkhitaryan is the type of guy Di Maria's girlfriend tells him not to worry about.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan is the first ever Armenian to score in the Premier league. Now that is brilliant. #MUFC. pic.twitter.com/shTjDLs6o8

Mkhitaryan not being able to get in the Man Utd team for so long seems absolutely ridiculous now given he's their best player by a mile.

There was still time to make the odd Marouane Fellaini joke though, and Mourinho obliged by bringing him on at the end..

Spurs desperately trying to make a substitution and bring Marouane Fellaini on for Manchester United.

Marouane Fellaini just went out to warm up and the United fans started booing him. Savage. #MUFC #THFC

However, the Armenian went off with an injury, putting a dampener on the night.
