THREE POINTS, TWO goals, and one ball thrown in an opponent’s face: just another night for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Ibra scored both of Sweden’s goals as they beat the Faroe Islands 2-0 in last night’s Group C qualifier.

But the enigmatic star had to face a few questions after he was caught on camera tossing the ball into the face of Faroese goalkeeper Gunnar Nielsen.

What do you reckon? Did he mean it or was Nielsen’s face just in the wrong place at the wrong time?

And more importantly, as a booking would have ruled Ibrahimovic out of Sweden’s trip to Dublin in September, should the FAI start making calls to the powers that be?
