Sweden's 2-0 friendly win over Estonia on Thursday saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic notch both of the match's goals to surpass Sven Rydell as Sweden's all-time leading scorer.

And, of course, because it's Ibrahimovic, and everything he does is done in jaw-dropping style, his record 50th goal for Sweden was scored in classic Zlatan fashion.

Upon receiving a well-placed pass from Sebastian Larsson inside the six-yard box, Ibrahimovic - as he's been known to do - positioned himself perfectly and popped the ball into the back of the net with a cheeky back-heel that Estonian 'keeper Sergei Pareiko could do nothing about.

The celebration was just as Zlatan as the goal, as Ibrahimovic unveiled a shirt that read, "50 Goals, You Made It All Possible" upon breaking the record.

It's also worth noting that Ibrahimovic has now scored in every possible minute over the course of his career.
