How Zlatan Ibrahimovic brought up 500 career club goals after reaching milestone in AC Milan win

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's 500th goal in club football was like so many of those that had come before it. Baiting the defence to come and take the ball off him, the slick pass-and-move, the accomplished top-corner finish.

Anyone who thought the Swede was well past it at the age of 39 should probably think again and this momentous milestone could yet convince AC Milan to extend his playing career into his 40s.

After all, when Zlatan is still scoring twice in a win that returns you to the top of the Serie A table, surely he's worth another few months at least?
