Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s all-time top ten goals
By Roy Emanuel
4) vs. Fiorentina – 2010
The fourth goal of the countdown stays at AC Milan, within the first few months of Zlatan Ibrahimovic joining manager Massimiliano Allegri’s squad. A November home date against Fiorentina brought a difficult challenge, but it was Milan’s prolific striker who would ultimately make the difference in 1-0 win.
The two sides seemed set to enter the half-time break at 0-0, with only seconds remaining before the referee’s whistle. However, that was all the time that Zlatan would need to deliver a match-winner for his team that evening.
Thiago Silva sent a hopeful cross into the penalty area, and a reward was immediately found thanks to Ibrahimovic’s creative energy.
The striker is able to gain control of the ball, lift it up for himself and score a goal with an over-head kick as his momentum takes him in the opposite direction.
A sublime piece of skill and showing off his masterful touch on the ball, Ibrahimovic was able to secure an important result seemingly on his own.
Victories can occasionally come from quick sequences of inspiration, and when two talented sides meet those sequences are vital. Few in the past two decades have been better in those types of moments than Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
