[UPDATE] Ibrahimovic 4, England 2

Amazing Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored all four goals as Sweden doubled the score on England 4-2 in an international football friendly at the Swedbank Arena, Stockholm Thursday (Thailand time).

The Paris Saint-Germain striker poked home to open the scoring before Danny Welbeck volleyed an equaliser.

Steven Caulker, one of six England debutants, prodded his team in front but Ibrahimovic smashed a leveller. The 31-year-old drilled in a low free-kick before completing the win with a stunning bicycle kick from 30 yards.

The Netherlands and Germany played a mostly boring scoreless draw.

France came from behind and dominated play to defeat Italy 2-1.

The United States escaped with a hard-fought 2-2 draw in Russia on Wednesday, the top early match among the last spate of international football friendlies of the year.

    Ibrahimovic 4, England 2

    Another Hungary - England 1953 style match, remembering Ferenc Puskas, one of the best footballers ever. As England, then the world's number one ranked team, found out after belittling Puskas in the press before the match in which they were trounced by Hungary 6-3.

    One of the English players before the match had said: "Look at that little fat chap. We’ll murder this lot."

    Ferenc Puskas scored what still today is considered to be one of the most beautiful goals ever.

    The return match saw England thrashed 7-1 with Puskas in total having scored 4.
