Many supporters have responded on social media as Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored twice and assisted once in Armenia’s 4-2 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
After completing his deadline day loan move to AS Roma, the winger was an instrumental figure for Armenia on Sunday afternoon with a fine display to help his side to an important Euro 2020 qualifier victory.
And following his performance, many have taken to Twitter to suggest that Roma should now buy him permanently, while others believe he will have an excellent campaign in Serie A after leaving on loan.

READ ARSENAL VERDICT
Mkhitaryan certainly seemed to unleash on Bosnia after completing his loan switch to Roma, and his performance will no doubt have many questioning why he could not replicate that form at the Emirates.
While some will point the finger at the winger himself for simply not performing well enough at Arsenal, others will blame Unai Emery for not being able to get the best out of the Armenian.
Either way, he was in excellent form for Armenia and all eyes will be on his Serie A debut for Roma to gauge whether it was a flash in the pan or whether he is really back to his best.
