You can count on the internet to always bring out something hilarious out of virtually anything. The last time we witnessed such a scenario in football was late last month in La Liga when Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hattrick for Real Madrid in the Madrid derby and then his ‘cool pose’ celebration went viral.
And now, back in the Premier League, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a brace against West Bromwich at the Hawthorns on Saturday. After netting his first goal of the match, the tall Swede dashed to the corner flag to join Jesse Lingard. Zlatan leaped high into the air as the England international watched with shock written all over his face. That epic shot then became a viral meme on Twitter.
Here are some of the best reactions

The red devils are still stuck at the sixth position with 30 points same as Spurs, who face Burnley at the White Hart Lane on Sunday. Mourinho’s men have now made it four wins in a row in all competitions and will be hoping that the top four sides will lose their footing in the title race. but as things stand now, a top four position for the Manchester-based club is imminent.
