Man Utd 3-1 Sunderland

Stunning finishes from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Fabio Borini were the highlights as Manchester United beat Sunderland 3-1 in the Premier League.

Mkhitaryan, who came on as a second-half substitute, improvised superbly to turn home Zlatan Ibrahimovic's cross from behind his body with the flick of his boot, though he was standing offside from the Swede's ball.

Daley Blind had given United the lead in the first half with his first goal since January, finishing into the bottom corner from inside the area after Ibrahimovic's neat assist.

Ibrahimovic scored United's second on 81 minutes, turning home after being put through on goal by Paul Pogba, before Mkhitaryan's world class finish with four minutes left.

Borini volleyed home a stunning consolation for Sunderland from 25 yards, but the result means the hosts have now won four Premier League games on the trot, while Sunderland are 18th, a point off safety.
