Ibrahimovic scored his 500th career club goals

Zlatan Ibrahimovic took his tally to more than 500 club goals as he scored twice to help AC Milan beat Crotone 4-0 and move back top of the Serie A standings on Sunday.

Ibrahimovic fired Milan ahead in the 30th minute with his 500th club goal and extended that tally in the second half. Ante Rebic scored two goals in less than a minute shortly after.

Milan thought they had taken an early lead but Davide Calabria’s goal was disallowed as Ibrahimovic had been offside in the build-up.

But they broke the deadlock when Ibrahimovic played a one-two with Rafael Leo before placing an angled drive into the far corner.

Ibrahimovic’s 501st club goal was perhaps the easiest he has ever scored as he was left unmarked, six yards out, to tap in Theo Hernandez’s low cross.

Rebic then headed in Hakan Calhanoglu’s corner before firing home the rebound after Ibrahimovic’s effort had been parried by Crotone goalkeeper Alex Cordaz.
