Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored an acrobatic back flick to wrap up Manchester United's 3-1 win over Sunderland in the English Premier league on Saturday, ensuring a miserable return to Old Trafford for former United manager David Moyes.
On as a second-half substitute, Mkhitaryan met Zlatan Ibrahimovic's right-wing cross with a flicked finish with the heel of his right foot that flew into the corner in the 86th minute.
Mkhitaryan was in an offside position but it didn't stop home fans at Old Trafford saluting a player who is growing in importance in his first season at United.
Ibrahimovic also set up the opening goal for Daley Blind in the 39th before scoring his 16th goal of the season in the 82nd after being played through by Paul Pogba.
Sunderland's consolation was scored by Fabio Borini in stoppage time.
It was Moyes' first game at Old Trafford since he was fired by United in April 2014, 10 months into his ill-fated tenure as Alex Ferguson's hand-picked replacement.
United has won its last four league games to power back into contention for the Champions league qualification places.
Chelsea set winning record
lONDON: Chelsea achieved a club record 12th straight English Premier league victory as it beat Bournemouth 3-0 Monday.
Two goals from Pedro and Eden Hazard's penalty ensured Antonio Conte's side bettered a run of 11 wins set in 2009.
Chelsea overcame the absence of suspended duo N'Golo Kante and Diego Costa for its 10th clean sheet of the 12-match winning run.
The hosts struggled to create chances early on but, after a moment of magic from Pedro unlocked the Bournemouth defence in the 24th, the Blues didn't look back.
Hazard and the recalled Cesc Fabregas combined to find Pedro on the edge of the Bournemouth box, before he created space and curled a precise left-foot effort into the top corner.
Jack Wilshere, on loan from Arsenal, had Bournemouth's two best chances to level at Stamford Bridge as he was first denied by Chelsea 'keeper Thibaut Courtois, before Cesar Azpilicueta crucially blocked Wilshere's volley after a poor clearance from Marcos Alonso.
Fabregas almost doubled the lead 10 minutes before halftime with a free kick.
Thriving as he deputized in a centre forward position, Eden Hazard all but ended the match in the 49th, as he won a penalty after beating Bournemouth captain Simon Francis.
Hazard coolly rolled his penalty past the deceived Artur Boruc to score his 50th Premier league goal for Chelsea.
The Blues wasted a number of chances to extend their lead before Pedro added a deserved third in stoppage time.
The Spanish forward picked the ball up in the center circle before driving at the Bournemouth defence and seeing his shot take a deflection off Steve Cook.
Chelsea took a nine-point lead ahead of Manchester City's game at Hull later Monday.
Bournemouth slipped to 13th.
Arsenal win 1-0
Olivier Giroud headed home an 86th-minute winner as Arsenal avoided another Christmas stumble in the English Premier league to beat West Bromwich Albion 1-0 on Monday.
The visitors limited the Gunners to only a handful of chances at Emirates Stadium, with goalkeeper Ben Foster on top form.
But Giroud, making his first league start of the season, headed home Mesut Ozil's cross to secure a much-needed triumph for the hosts, who snapped a two-game losing streak in the league.
It was Giroud's sixth goal of the season as Ozil celebrated his 100th league appearance.
leicester lose again
lEICESTER: Deprived of the stars behind its improbable triumph last season, leicester was beaten 2-0 at home by Everton on Saturday in the latest disappointing result of its Premier league title defense. Belgium internationals Kevin Mirallas and Romelu lukaku scored breakaway goals in the second half to earn Everton its first away win since September and move the team into seventh place.
The last time the Foxes hosted Everton, they lifted the Premier league trophy after the game. At the final whistle this time, leicester is just three points above the relegation zone after 18 of 38 games. leicester, which has won just two of its last 13 games in all competitions, was without suspended players Jamie Vardy. Vardy's loss was felt in particular, after his red card against Stoke last time out. leicester appeared to protest at that decision by handing out around 30,000 masks depicting the face of Vardy to supporters.
