Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored four outstanding goals, including a contender for goal of this or any other season, as Sweden opened their new Friends Arena with a 4-2 win over England.

"Ibra" capped an great personal display with a breathtaking injury-time bicycle-kick from a botched Joe Hart header as Sweden avenged their 3-2 defeat by England at Euro 2012.

In doing so he spoiled the celebrations of England captain Steven Gerrard, who became the sixth man to win 100 caps for his country.

But Gerrard was the first to praise the Swede, who moved into third place in his country's all-time scoring chart taking his tally to 39 goals from 85 internationals.

"His performance tonight was simply world class and that fourth goal was one of the best I've ever seen," Gerrard told ITV.
