Henrikh Mkhitaryan Included in UEFA Europa League Team of the Week

UEFA website has posted the list of Europa League team of the week players that also includes Borussia Dortmund and Armenia international midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Mkhitaryan starred as Dortmund routed Qabala of Azerbaijan 4-0 in the Europa League Group C match on Thursday.

The 26-year-old set up Marco Reus to open the scoring in the 28th minute, the winger collecting a pass before unleashing a long-range effort that found the back of the net.

Mkhitaryan then assisted BVB’s second when he sent Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang through on goal, allowing the club top-scorer to finish with ease.

The contest was as good as over when Sergey Zenjov put the ball past his own goalkeeper, before Mkhitaryan deservedly got his name on the scoresheet when he crashed his drive in off the underside of the crossbar three minutes later.
