Manchester United Beat Southampton 3-2
London - Arab Today
Zlatan Ibrahimovic powered in a late header to win the League Cup for Manchester United on Sunday, sealing a 3-2 victory over Southampton after a two-goal lead was thrown away by Jose Mourinho's side.
It was Ibrahimovic's second goal in the final after putting United ahead from a free kick, taking the 35-year-old Swede's tally to 26 goals in an incredible first season at United where his performances have more than lived up to the swagger.
United's fragile defense, though, nearly contrived to throw away the chance of glory. Although Jesse Lingard extended United's lead in the 38th minute, Southampton fought back with goals either side of halftime from Manolo Gabbiadini. But as Southampton pushed for its first major trophy since beating United in the 1976 FA Cup trophy, Ibrahimovic produced the bullet header in the 87th minute from Ander Herrera's cross.
Now Ibrahimovic has won a major trophy in a fifth country after honors in France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands.
Although Wayne Rooney went up to collect the trophy as captain, that was his only role at Wembley. The 31-year-old forward was forced to watch from the bench as his older teammate produced an ageless, match-winning contribution.
