Henrikh Mkhitaryan made a winning return to our side on Saturday as we 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.

Afterwards, he faced the media and this is what he told them:

on the performance...

Not the game, but the result [we wanted], yes. The last away game we won was two months ago, so it was an important win for us and we are happy to get the three points. 

on the early goal settling any nerves...

I think it was very important to score the two goals in the first half, and apart from that we had other chances to score but I think we were a bit unlucky. In the second half we had a few chances we couldn't realise, but the most important thing was that we won.

on Huddersfield making them work for the win...

With the new manager they have started playing very well and I wish them good luck. But the most important thing is we won and can go home happy.

on needing a run of results in the top-four battle...

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.

on his return from injury...

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.
