Match in a Minute - Man Utd 3-1 Sunderland with Tony Cottee

Tony Cottee gives his review of the fixture between Manchester United and Sunderland.

A stunning finish from Henrikh Mkhitaryan was the highlight as Manchester United beat Sunderland 3-1 in the Premier League on Boxing Day.

The Amernian, a second-half substitute, improvised superbly to flick home Zlatan Ibrahimovic's cross with his heel, although he was standing in an offside position.

Daley Blind had given United a first-half lead 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.

Fabio 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 the Black Cats are 18th, a point off safety.
