Zlatan had a habit of scoring incredible goals for Sweden and this time it was England who witnessed the brilliance of the former Swedish international.

England was leading 2-1 in the match with less than fifteen minutes to go and was playing well, considering the team that Roy Hodson fielded on that day. It was pretty comfortable for the Three Lions until Ibrahimovic decided to add some excitement in the game.

It was a long hopeful ball played down the center of the park which the England goalkeeper, Joe Hart came out and headed away from the danger. However, the clearance was an invitation for the Swede maestro to produce one of his exceptional overhead kicks. Any player would have controlled the ball down and played it to a fellow teammate, but for Zlatan, impossible is just a word. He can score from anywhere and convert even a no-chance into a goal.

The accuracy of the shot was such that it even lobbed the defender on the line. The then-Sweden coach, Eric Hamren compared it to watching a video game. Even Steven Gerrard described it as the one of the best goals he has seen. Ibrahimovic also won the FIFA Puskas Award for this goal.
