Zlatan Ibrahimovic stole the show in yesterday's EFL Cup final as the Swede continued his supreme knack of winning games and producing big moments with a brace - the second of which was the winning goal in the 87th minute.

It's worth noting that their goals came at the old Wembley Stadium, meaning Lingard is the only player to have scored at the new Wembley in three separate finals.

Should United reach the FA Cup final this year and Zlatan Ibrahimovic get on the scoresheet, he will also make the list having scored in both the Community Shield and League Cup final.
