When Mkhitaryan came to Arsenal as a replacement for Alexis Sanchez, he was not seen as a like to like replacement, but we should not forget his exploits with Dortmund just some seasons back. He is a creative player who reads the game well and he did exactly that in yesterday’s match.

His passing and finishing was on song and with two goals in two games, he has provided Emery with plenty of options in the attack. Welbeck’s injury was seen as a major setback for the Gunners as they lacked a hard working player in the wings. But Mkhitaryan’s timely return to form bodes well for the Gunners.

Going forward Mkhitaryan will be a very important player for the Gunners and Unai Emery has to use him to his strengths. Ozil and he can form a lethal combo. The fact that Emery now has enough playes in attack is a good sign for the tough games ahead.
