Former AC Milan star, and current PSG player, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 went on to score all four goals in the game, as he helped his side come back from being down by two goals to one, to winning by four goals to two.
Following the conclusion of the game, many have gone on to play Hart for his poor performance in the game, as they feel the keeper was all over the place, and failed to really dominate his area of the pitch.
At the same time, Ibrahimovic managed to go on and exploit all of Hart’s weaknesses in the game, especially with his fourth goal which is being regarded as one of the best goals to be scored on the international stage.
When talking about the game, and the way things played out, Hodgson has refused to point the finger at any one player, and feels that the whole team needs to put in a devastating shift if they expect the team to win.
"You can always blame goalkeepers for those things, but it was a bit disappointing to concede a goal of course, when a shot's coming in from that distance.”
"I'll have to see it again on the video replay; I certainly wouldn't be prepared to start casting aspersions on the goalkeeper or proportioning blame. That doesn't matter.”
"All goals are mistakes somewhere along the line; the thing is what you do during the course of the 94 minutes, and I thought during the 94 minutes today we did some very good things."
However, the England manager did take time out to mention that Ibrahimovic’s fourth and final goal was a thing of beauty, although it was his second and third goals which ultimately went on to cost his team the match.
"There's no doubt the fourth goal was something really extraordinary. Of course that put the tin lid on the game, but it was the second and third goals that cost us a victory here.”
England will now be looking to bounce back from this defeat in their next game, as the look to prove their worth and claim to not being pushovers on the international stage any longer.
