Zlatan Ibrahimovic has only been in England for a couple of months, but the Swedish superstar has already ensured that his name will forever be remembered in Premier League lore.
The Manchester United striker, 35, scored the 25,000th goal in the history of the English top flight on Sunday, firing a low drive against Swansea City that crept past the outstretched arm of Lukasz Fabianski.

His rasping strike - which ends a personal drought of seven matches - comes more than 24 years since the first-ever Premier League tally, scored by Sheffield United's Briane Deane; against the Red Devils, no less.
