Mkhitaryan, 31, rifled home the opener in the 3-1 victory, which put him on seven goals and five assists from 12 Serie A appearances.
That total of 12 goal involvements has the Armenian top of the list of Europe’s most prolific midfielders, just ahead of Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes and Marseille’s Florian Thauvin.
The United star has seven goals and four assists putting him on 11 total while Thauvin has five goals and six assists.
Jack Grealish and Gael Kakuta complete the top five – both with ten total involvements.
Mkhitaryan had a disappointing spell at Old Trafford between 2016 and 2018.
He managed just 13 goals and 11 assists in his two seasons in Manchester.
The wideman left for the Gunners where his return was equally underwhelming – managing just nine goals and 13 assists from 59 games.

He hit headlines earlier this month when he was PUNCHED by Young Boys’ Ali Camara in the Europa League.
