“We’ve seen glimpses in training and we were just waiting to see it on the pitch. As you can see from today, he’s just an amazing player,” Iwobi said on Mkhitaryan’s three assists in the game, reported the Arsenal official website. “With the quality players we have up front, we’re always going to create [scoring] chances.”

At the match that was played on Saturday evening in London, Arsenal won at home by a score of 5-1, Armenia captain Henrikh Mkhitaryan started for the Gunners for the first time, played the full game, made three assists, and Whoscored.com named him Man of the Match.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
