Ibrahimovic Sets New Serie A Record

By Chimezie Nebolisa

Swedish forward, Zlatan Ibrahimovic became the oldest goalscorer in the history of Serie A on Saturday after scoring a penalty at Udinese in his first AC Milan start in over a year.

Ibrahimovic smashed home a penalty at the second attempt in first half stoppage time to make the score 1-1.

He missed his first spot-kick but was given a second chance when Beto was penalised for encroachment, and crashed his shot down the middle of the goal.

At 41 years and 166 days old Ibrahimovic overtakes former AC Milan defender Alessandro Costacurta as the oldest scorer in Italy's top flight.

Milan are fourth in Serie A ahead of Saturday's fixture, 20 points behind runaway league leaders Napoli.
