MANCHESTER, England -- Henrikh Mkhitaryan underlined his growing importance to Manchester United by scoring in a 1-0 win over Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday, sealing the teams most important victory under Jose Mourinho.Mkhitaryans match ended prematurely when he was carried off on a stretcher in the 85th with a left ankle injury, but by then hed done the damage with his 29th-minute goal at Old Trafford.The Armenia midfielder raced onto Ander Herreras through-ball and drove home a rising shot for his first Premier League goal.Mourinho said Mkhitaryan was man of the match and that his injury wasnt serious, likely keeping him out for about two weeks.For a change, United managed to close out the game comfortably to move three points behind Spurs and six behind Manchester City, which occupies the fourth and final Champions League qualification berth after 15 games.To be honest, after so many matches playing well but not winning, we need more the points than the performance, Mourinho said, but I knew against Tottenham it is difficult to get the result without playing well. We played very well.Mkhitaryan has been slowly integrated into Uniteds first team since his move from Borussia Dortmund last summer, with Mourinho keen to ease the Armenian into the demands of English soccer.Now he is settled, Mkhitaryan is looking the part. And the pace and quick thinking he showed for his goal was something United has been lacking.As soon as Herrera pounced on a wayward pass from Harry Kane in the center of the field, Mkhitaryan was off, running in behind Spurs center back Jan Vertonghen with left back Danny Rose stranded upfield. Herreras pass was perfect and Mkhitaryan took it on before unleashing a fierce shot that flew past Hugo Lloris.In his last four games, Mkhitaryan has scored two goals and set up two others. His injury will set him back once again, however.Meanwhile, the Premier League has now seen players from 96 different nationalities score goals since its inception in 1992.It was a crucial win for United and Mourinho, whose record against the so-called heavyweights of the Premier League has been poor since arriving at Old Trafford. United has already lost to City and Chelsea this season, and drawn against Arsenal and Liverpool.United had the better of the chances in both halves, with Paul Pogba particularly lively in crashing a free kick against the crossbar and having two shots well saved by Lloris.Christian Eriksen was Tottenhams best player and from one of his free kicks, an unmarked Victor Wanyama misdirected a header from the edge of the six-yard box in the 55th.Spurs didnt have a more clear-cut opening for the rest of the match.It was an even game, very competitive, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said. I think a little bit disappointed but not disappointed with our performance. We compete here (in a) difficult game.There were some boos from United fans toward Marouane Fellaini as the midfielder warmed up late in the second half, with Mourinho contemplating a substitution.Mourinho said he heard the jeers and guessed it was a reaction to Fellainis clumsy foul against Everton last week, soon after coming on as a substitute, that conceded a penalty and subsequently a late equalizing goal.He is a player and a person I like and the person is more important, Mourinho said. He will always have my protection.Fellaini came on for the last minute of the match.Discount Air Max .

Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman was hit with both a penalty and a fine two weeks ago, with the NFLs head of officiating Dean Blandino explaining that it mimics a violent act.Cooks said he plans to keep doing the celebration in some form, although he doesnt want to hurt his team by drawing a flag.Well, there are different forms of doing it. You just cant shoot [the arrow], Cooks told NOLA.com. Im still going to pull it out. Whatever happens after that happens. I dont want to do anything to jeopardize my team, but Ill figure something out.Cooks has adopted the nickname, The Archer, which he uses on social media.The third-year receiver explained to NOLA.com last year that the bow-and-arrow gesture was inspired by a Bible passage in which a boy named Ishmael used his archery skill to survive in the desert.Cooks furrther explained to the New Orleans Advocate on Tuesday that he found another Bible verse that spoke to him: Psalms 144:6, a form of which he then recited.ddddddddddddSend forth lightning and scatter your enemy, and shoot your arrows and rout them, Cooks said. I just remember it sticking with me for such a long time, I remember thinking, maybe I can do something with this.Cooks expressed his frustration to both media outlets on Tuesday while doing promotional interviews for Mercedes-Benz.Ive been doing it for three years now, and there was never a complaint about it, Cooks told the Advocate. Now, all of a sudden, there is. It just reminds me that, its almost as if they try to take so much away from us, but for something like this, that means so much to someone that has nothing to do with violence, its frustrating. Ill definitely continue to speak my opinion about it, and if they have a problem with it, so be it.Cooks added to NOLA.com: Its one of those things that they want to fine anything and get their little ... whatever they want. Theyre not going to stop me. ' ' '
