Thomas Tuchel hails hat-trick hero Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel hails the talismanic qualities of Henrikh Mkhitaryan following his second-half hat-trick in the 5-0 win over Wolfsberger AC.

Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel has said that Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a pleasure to work with following his Europa League hat-trick on Thursday night.

The Armenian netted three times in the final 17 minutes as Tuchel's side destroyed Wolfsberger AC with a 5-0 win to seal a 6-0 aggregate victory en route to the playoffs.

"Mkhitaryan is an absolute model professional. I'm very glad to have him in this team," the head coach told reporters.

"It's a great pleasure for me to work with him and to watch him and see how he deals with his talent.

"The second half was a good reaction to the first," he added. "We played with great tempo, showed good temperament, created many chances and ended with five goals scored."

Dortmund discover who they face in the final phase of qualifying in this afternoon's draw.
