PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan made a winning return to the Arsenal side on Saturday, February 9 as the Gunners beat Huddersfield 2-1 at the John Smith's Stadium.

The Armenian international was at the heart of the action as first-half goals from Alex Iwobi and Alex Lacazette sealed an important away victory.

Mkhitaryan told the media that he is aiming to help Arsenal win as many games as possible having returned from injury.

“We will try everything to win every game because every point is important so now we can be focused on the Europa League and then back on the Premier League after that,” he told the club’s official website.

Pleased to have returned and ready to help the team, the 3–year-old added: “Yes, I was happy to be back after two months and I was excited. I will keep working and trying to do my best for the team.”

Arsenal play both legs of their Europe League last 32 tie against BATE Borisov before returning to Premier League action when they host Southampton on February 24.
