Not many can boast about having nutmegged Zlatan Ibrahimovic. But, one unexpected name has earned that right.

Aurelien Chedjou, the Cameroonian defender, will cherish that moment for the rest of his life. It happened when Lille faced PSG in a Ligue 1 face-off. The Parisians were finding hard to break Lille's defence. To top it, Lille had dominated possession for most of the game.

A frustrated figure up front, Zlatan then tried to inflict pain on Lille's defenders by running at them all by himself. And then it happened. As Ibra came rushing in, Chedjou pushed the ball through his legs with short touches.

Ibrahimovic gave a broad smile because he knew he had been outclassed. The defender had earned his respect in great fashion.

Now comes the funniest part. PSG won the game 1-0, thanks to an own goal by Chedjou. You just don't mess with Zlatan!
