Johnson: NYCFC 'got the best' of Ibrahimovic scuffle

Sean Johnson wasn't looking to place blame on Zlatan Ibrahimovic following a short scuffle between the two during Saturday's MLS match pitting the goalkeeper's New York City FC team against the star forward's LA Galaxy.

Ibrahimovic appeared to wrap his hands around Johnson's neck late in the match, with both players ending up on the ground and in the referee's book following the clash.

A strike from Heber and a Maxi Moralez penalty had the New York outfit 2-0 up at halftime and the visiting club was trying to hang onto that lead in the 87th minute when Johnson and Ibrahimovic found themselves clashing.
