Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Derby Day Goal Lands Him Impressive Record

Zlatan Ibrahimovic enjoys a good fierce derby, while his experience of the Manchester derby wasn't a good memory, the Swedish attacker notched up an impressive record after his in vain goal.

The Swede was able to get on the score sheet as he improves his United tally to four leagues goals in four league games. After a fumble from debuting City keeper Claudio Bravo, Ibrahimovic nonchalantly converted though he ultimately suffered his first defeat in a United shirt.

But his fifth goal of the season handed him a place among the footballing record books:

Goals in the Manchester derby, El Clasico, Derby d'Italia, Milan derby, Barcelona derby, Le Classique and De Klassieker is pretty ridiculous. Not to mention on the international scene where he's netted against rivals Denmark for Sweden.

The 34-year-old's incredible start to life in the Premier League has reportedly seen him awarded with a new contract.
