    Mkhitaryan delighted to play decisive role


    Henrikh Mkhitaryan was the match-winner as Roma picked up an invaluable 1-0 victory over Sampdoria on Sunday evening.

    The Armenian fired home from close-range midway through the first half to ultimately decide the contest, as the Giallorossi extended their unbeaten run in Serie A to 10 matches.

    “"Today we've won a really important game," Mkhitaryan said.

    "We got the goal we needed in the first half, then in the second half we had to hold onto it - but that's fine. I have to thank my teammates for the way they fought and gave everything to win this match."

    He added: "I love this stadium! The atmosphere is great and their fans support their side like our fans always do. I'm really pleased [to score here again].

    "Now we need to make sure we stay focused for the upcoming games."
