Henrikh Mkhitaryan has claimed the Carling Goal of the Month for December, according to the Premier League’s official website.

The Manchester United midfielder’s acrobatic scorpion kick helped his side earn a 3-1 victory over Sunderland on Boxing Day.

It was chosen as the best from a shortlist of eight goals from the combined votes of a panel of experts and the public, who picked their favourite via the Carling Tap and website.
