Ibrahimovic scores EPL’s 25,000th goal as Man Utd defeat Swansea
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the 25,000th goal of the premier league on Sunday during a match between Manchester United and Swansea.
The goal was the 400th of the player’s career.
The Red Devils bounced back from their poor run of form and claimed all three points in the Liberty Stadium game, which ended 3-1.
A Paul Pogba screamer and a double from Ibrahimovic rendered Mike van der Hoorn’s second-half header a mere consolation for the hosts.
A screamer from Paul Pogba in the 15th minute gave the visitor’s the lead.
In the 23rd minute, the visitors doubled the lead in a simple fashion, as Wayne Rooney collected the ball deep down the left wing and cut inside on his right foot before popping a pass to his team-mate.
Ibrahimovic skipped past the challenge of Ki before lashing an attempt beyond the Fabianski into the bottom corner!
Ibrahimovic and Rooney exchanged a lovely one-two in the middle of the park, and the former shoved away a couple of attempted challenges inside the box, before he lifted a left-footed attempt into the top corner! 3-0 it was in the 33rd minute.
The hosts got a ray of hope as Sigurdsson whipped a wicked free-kick into the box for Van der Hoorn, who rose above Jones and Pogba to bullet a cracking header into the corner!
