Ibrahimovic double downs Saints in Wembley thriller
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has sealed the first major
silverware of Jose Mourinho's Manchester United reign and broke Southampton's
hearts as the Swedish star's late goal clinched a dramatic 3-2 victory in
League Cup final.
Ibrahimovic was one of Mourinho's marquee signings in the close-season
and he repaid his manager's faith with a typically dominant display on the big
occasion today at Wembley.
The 35-year-old opened the scoring with a blistering free-kick before
Jesse Lingard doubled United's lead.
Manolo Gabbiadini sparked a thrilling Southampton fightback, scoring
just before halftime and again early in the second half.
But Ibrahimovic had the last word as his 87th minute header ensured
Mourinho joined United legend Alex Ferguson and Nottingham Forest great Brian
Clough as the only managers to win the League Cup four times.
