New year, same old Zlatan...
The Swedish striker has scored his first goal since signing his new deal with AC Milan, and he did so to help his new team to what could be three crucial points in their effort to keep fighting for a spot in continental tournaments.
Zlatan drilled a left-foot shot into the lower left-hand corner of Cagliari's net, giving the rossoneri an uncontestable away win. "The Lion" has now scored in four different decades, since he found the back of the net for the first time in 1999.
