Croatia’s Nikola Kalinic sent Twitter into a meltdown after scoring a classic Zlatan-like goal vs Spain in their Euro 2016 group D match. The Spaniards had opened the scoring through Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata, but Kalinic scored the equalizer with a brilliant display of skill that is mostly identified with Sweden star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
