EFL Cup Final

When you look up the word irrepressible in the dictionary there really should be a picture of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

For the second time this season Wembley Stadium connected by EE was treated to the Zlatan show and what a show it was.

The ageless Swede gave Manchester United the lead with a stunning free-kick after a mere 19 minutes before Jesse Lingard, himself not averse to the Wembley limelight, doubled the advantage.

However another supremely talented forward threatened to rob the former PSG man of his moment as Manolo Gabbiadini twice struck with aplomb to put Saints back on terms.

But there's a reason they say dare to Zlatan. It's because to dare is to do and he did!

With time ticking away on the clock Ibrahimovic rose like the proverbial salmon and thumped home Manchester United's winner.

Irrepresible? You bet!
