His performance in the 4-0 demolition of the Swans capped a fine display that saw him top the Dream Team ratings of those on show.

He underlined his man of the match effort by adding another two assists to his stats.

And that took his tally to four for the season, already three more than he registered in the Premier League during his first campaign.

Afterwards, Mkhitaryan was keen to point out the efforts of his colleagues.

He told Sky Sports: “It was a tough game, especially in the first half.

“We had passion, we did what we had to do. The second half became much easier because they played with more defenders and that left space.

“Team spirit. We also have a little luck with the chances we are creating.”

But he was not the only star of the show in South Wales.

Paul Pogba also scored himself an eight after bagging his second goal of the season.
