ZLAT'S HOW I ROLL

Watch Zlatan Ibrahimovic score first goal since rejoining AC Milan with brilliant no-look finish in 2-0 win at Cagliari

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC scored his first goal on his first start for AC Milan - making it a goal in a FOURTH DECADE for the striker.

And in typical fashion, it was a bit of a special one too.

The maverick Swede netted in the 64th minute of the Serie A clash away at Cagliari

Receiving the ball from Hernandez in the box, the 38-year-old coolly swept the ball past Cagliari keeper Robin Olsen.

And incredibly he did it without even looking at the goal or the keeper.

But there's no doubting Ibra has always had that killer instinct that has seen him score an astonishing 456 goals in 742 games in a career that began with Malmo in 1999.

PIATEK'S REPLACEMENT?

Ex-Inter Milan hero Ibrahimovic rejoined AC from LA Galaxy over Christmas on a six-month deal.

He came on as a sub in the game previous against Sampdoria, and was given a huge standing ovation when he replaced Spurs target Krzysztof Piątek after 55 minutes.

For the Cagliari game, Ibra took Piatek's place in the starting XI from the off.

And that will only heighten rumours that the Pole could be heading to North London.

Jose Mourinho’s North Londoners will pay an initial fee of £23.8m — with a further £4.2m to come in add-ons.

Spurs will be without star goalscorer Harry Kane until April after confirming the England skipper needs to go under the knife to fix his hamstring injury.

Kane limped out of Tottenham's clash with Southampton clutching his left leg and is racing to be fit for Euro 2020 with a ruptured tendon.
