Match No. 915 - Wednesday, 14th November 2012, 8:30pm
- "Ibrahimovic's first was another beauty and a lesson, too, for Sterling given that it was he who lost the ball in the buildup. Martin Olsson exchanged passes with Ranegie and sent a low cross into the penalty area. Ibrahimovic's first shot came back off Caulker. The second was an old-fashioned toe-poke that was still rising as it arrowed into the top corner." Zlatan Ibrahimović, 20'19:05
- "After 78 minutes Anders Svensson sent a long ball through the middle and Shawcross lost its flight. Ibrahimovic cushioned the ball on his chest and, in one movement, volleyed emphatically past Hart." Zlatan Ibrahimović, 77'76:54
- "His next moment of brilliance came six minutes later, rifling his free-kick into the bottom corner to become the first player to score a hat-trick against England since Marco van Basten in the 1988 European Championship." Zlatan Ibrahimović, 84'83:22
- "The fourth in particular, an overhead volley from an almost implausible angle and distance, was the kind of rare brilliance that could be associated with only an elite band of footballers." Zlatan Ibrahimović, 90'90:45 +1
