Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored twice and had a hand in the other two goals as Armenia beat Bosnia-Herzegovina 4-2 in Euro 2020 qualifying.
The Arsenal midfielder, on loan at Roma, rounded keeper Ibrahim Sehic to score a third-minute opener.
He blasted a second into the roof of the net after Edin Dzeko had equalised.
Amer Gojak put Bosnia level again but Hovhannes Hambardzumyan scored from Mkhitaryan’s cross and Stjepan Loncar turned a ball into his own net.
The result boosts Armenia’s European Championship qualification hopes, but leaves Bosnia’s in real jeopardy.
Armenia are three points behind second-placed Finland, who host Group J leaders Italy at 19:45 BST, with Bosnia another two points behind.
