Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice as Manchester United lifted the EFL Cup with a 3-2 win over Southampton in an outstanding game at Wembley.

The striker powered home a Marcos Rojo cross with three minutes remaining to clinch the trophy for Jose Mourinho's men after Southampton had recovered from 2-0 down thanks to a brace of goals from Manolo Gabbiadini.

Southampton thought they had made the breakthrough in a thrilling encounter when Gabbiadini converted from close range after 11 minutes.

The striker was onside as he steered home a ball from Cedric Soares but Ryan Bertrand, although not interfering with play, had strayed offside and the flag went up -- but the goal should have stood.
