Zlatan Ibrahimovic Scores Two as Milan Draw 3-3 with Roma
Former Manchester United and Inter Milan Sweden international Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice yesterday to help his side AC Milan remain top of the Italian Serie A. His two goals could not, however, get his side a win but it was enough to see them smile out of the stadium as the game ended 3-3 as they played against AS Roman. The draw was AC Milan’s first draw in the 2020/21 Italian Serie A season.
39-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened the scoring before former Manchester City’s Edin Dzeko headed in an equaliser soon after. Alexis Saelemaekers restored Milan’s lead but Roma equalised again through a Jordan Veretout penalty. Zlatan Ibrahimovic made it 3-2 as he converted from the spot but Marash Kumbulla equalised late on.
The point extends Milan’s lead over Napoli at the top of Serie A to two points. Swedish striker Ibrahimovic, who recovered from coronavirus earlier this month, has scored six goals in five games so far this season. Earlier Milan announced that goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma had tested positive for coronavirus and he was replaced in the side by veteran Ciprian Tatarusanu, who was at fault for the first Roma goal.
