Dzeko hopes Mkhitaryan doesn't return to Arsenal after stunning Roma debut

Edin Dzeko said he hopes Henrikh Mkhitaryan remains at Roma for a "long time" after his goalscoring debut for the Serie A side in their first victory of the season.

Mkhitaryan arrived in the Italian capital on a season-long loan from Premier League outfit Arsenal before the transfer window closed in Europe.

And the Armenian playmaker's first appearance for Roma yielded a goal in the 22nd minute as the Giallorossi beat visitors Sassuolo 4-2 on Sunday.

It was Roma's third strike of the match, with Mkhitaryan running on to a pass and drilling the ball low underneath the opposition goalkeeper.
