Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as mad as a bag of spiders and twice as lethal.

The goal against England in last night"s friendly needs little introduction. It took the internet hostage late in the evening and hasn"t let go since.

While it keeps that up we thought we should add some context to Ibrahimovic"s talents, for the uninitiated.

Oddly, sadly and frustratingly Ibrahimovic is a player who has been called "over hyped" and apparently "never did it on the big stage", more times than he"s scored wonder goals. And that"s a lot for Zlatan, whose arrogance and imagination seem as much a part of his identity on the field as any particular technical skill.

The reality is, of course, he is not overrated. He is one of the best striker"s in the world, and has been for quite a long time.

Here, as a body of evidence, we give you some of Zlatan"s best goals (before last night).
