The Man Utd striker matches two Premier League icons for their goalscoring records after 20 top-flight games but is short of Ruud van Nistelrooy
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was among the goals again on Sunday as he netted in Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool.
A dramatic late leveller at Old Trafford – with his header squeezing over the line off the underside of the crossbar – was the Swede’s 14th effort in Premier League action this season.
That return has come in just 20 games, with the enigmatic frontman slipping seamlessly into life in the English top flight.
He now sits level with Chelsea’s Diego Costa and Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez in the race for the 2016-17 Golden Boot, with that battle set to be as intense as the scrap for the title.
