(Milan 3-3 Rome) Zlatan Ibrahimovic (39) scores and scores. On Monday he scored his fifth and sixth goals in three league games.
And at home to Roma, it didn’t even take two minutes: a minute and 46 seconds were played when the Swede sent the home team ahead at the San Siro.
It was Zlatan’s fifth goal in the first five Serie A league games. He himself has only played three of them after he caught the coronavirus just before the Europa League qualifying round against Bodø / Glimt. And he has scored in total: two in the first game of the series at home against Bologna and then two new ones in the big game against Inter in the fourth round.
Roma tied shortly after the Milan forward’s first goal when Edin Dzeko stabbed it 1-1 from a corner kick. After the break, the hosts responded as Alexis Saelemaekers scored Milan’s second, before Jordan Veretout equalized from a penalty.
But with ten minutes remaining in regulation time, Milan also got a penalty, and from the penalty spot Zlatan scored again. Six goals mean that the Swede is the top scorer in Serie A. Three men stand out with five goals: Torino’s Andrea Belotti, Sassuolo’s Francesco Caputo and Inter’s Romelu Lukaku.
In the end, Roma tied, again. Marash Kumbulla made sure it finished 3-3 in Milan, that was after a weak defensive play from Zlatan that threw the ball to the Roma player in the corner. The Swede got a slip when he had to clear a corner with a spectacular volley.
