VINE: Zlatan scored a contender for most ridiculous goal of the year last night

At the heart of the ridiculous, the sublime

Love him or hate him there’s no denying that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a goal-scorer supreme.  We love him because he can pull off some spectacular goals but even we think he might be struggling to take credit for this strike last night.

The PSG man was playing for Sweden in their Euro 2016 qualifier with Moldova when their goalkeeper Ilie Pavel Cebanu tried to clear the ball from his own penalty area after the half-time kick-off.

The former Barcelona man decided he would at least put some pressure  on the netminder-not expecting the ball to smack him right in the race and ricochet straight into the net.

Zlatan went on to score a penalty later in the game as Sweden won 2-0.
