Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice, including netting the winner three minutes from time, to help Manchester United beat Southampton 3-2 and win the 2017 EFL Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Ibrahimovic and Jesse Lingard staked the Red Devils into a 2-0 lead before Manolo Gabbiadini scored either side of half-time to draw the Saints level. That's how it stayed until the 87th minute when Ibrahimovic powered a header in to win United's first major trophy under manager Jose Mourinho.

The United boss sprung a surprise by including Lingard in the starting XI.
