Zlatan
Ibrahimovic's late winner secured the EFL Cup and gave Manchester United
manager Jose Mourinho his first success since his summer appointment, as brave
Southampton were beaten at Wembley.Southampton were the better side for most of
this final but were left heartbroken by a controversial offside decision - and
the inspiration provided by the 35-year-old Swede as he took his tally to 26
goals this season.Saints' striker Manolo Gabbiadiani saw a goal contentiously
ruled out before United took an undeserved two-goal lead through Ibrahimovic's
superb 19th minute free-kick and Jesse Lingard's measured finish seven minutes
before the interval.Southampton, as their performance merited, were on terms
with two predatory strikes from Gabbiadini either side of half-time.Oriel Romeu
hit the woodwork before Ibrahimovic stole in on Ander Herrera's cross three
minutes from time to give United a victory that looked beyond them for long
spells
