Zlatan Ibrahimovic is now Sweden’s all-time top scorer

Swedeish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a brace against Estonia to become Sweden’s all-time top goal scorer, reaching the milestone of 50 goals.

The 32-year-old PSG star scored his first goal in the third minute from a corner kick when he volleyed the shot with his left foot.

In the 24th minute, he was in the box to get on the end of the cross, and in the tight space between the goalkeeper and defender, he produced a fine back-heel effort to make it 2-0.

This was Ibrahimovic’s 99th match for Sweden and he broke a long standing goal scoring record that was held by Sven Rydell since 1932.

When he was asked which his favourite goal among the 50 he had scored was, he said: “The most beautiful was against England, no one's going to beat that, but all goals are important.”

Ibrahimovic played only 60 minutes of the match, but came off to a standing ovation.
