Lucescu Pleased with Mkhitaryan
FC Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Mircea Lucescu, after the match with Tavriya in Ukraine's Premier League, made a note of particularly mentioning Henrikh Mkhitaryan's game.
Recall that the match ended 4-1 in Dotesk's favor with Mkhitaryan being responsible for the fourth goal.
"It was a quite good, sensible game throughout the match. It is a pity that the goals were scored very late and that Andriy Pyatov made such a mistake. In the first half, we created opportunities, but, unfortunately, couldn't convert them ... In the second half, everything changed after Adriano came on.
"We made five substitutions, compared with the previous match due to a tight schedule. I'm pleased with everyone, especially with Mkhitaryan, who played very well today," he said, according to the FC Shaktar official website.
