Ibrahimovic, Costa light up misty day in EPL
LONDON — As fog engulfed English stadiums, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Diego Costa illuminated the Premier League on Saturday.
And the 35-year-old Ibrahimovic is fast catching the striker seven years his junior on the scoring leaderboard with only two goals separating them.
Ibrahimovic provided both goals at the Hawthorns as Manchester United rolled over West Bromwich Albion 2-0 for a third consecutive league victory — a header after five minutes and a deflected second-half strike.
“He is great to play alongside because he makes such great runs,” United winger Jesse Lingard said. “That makes him easy to link up with.”
