After Zlatan's wonder goal against England we compare it with an FA Cup classic

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's majestic display in Stockholm on Wednesday night was capped by what some are saying is the best goal ever.

However, many may remember another long-range overhead goal scored in The FA Cup by former England winger Trevor Sinclair.

But it's not our place to say which is the best, so we're letting fans vote for their favourite.

You can watch both goals together in the FATV player below and make your own mind up.

Trevor Sinclair v Barnsley, 25 January 1997
Sinclair’s strike, from the edge of the box, came for Queens Park Rangers in an FA Cup Fourth Round tie against Barnsley at Loftus Road. The winger capped 12 times for England had both feet off the ground as he volleyed the ball home for what proved to be the clincher in Rangers’ 3-2 win.

Having already bagged a hat-trick to help Sweden come from behind against Roy Hodgson's side, it was the mercurial striker's insticts that sealed a 4-2 victory in injury time. Joe Hart's header failed to clear the Swede and, with his back to goal, Ibrahimovic rose to send his overhead kick from 25 yards looping into the Three Lions goal.

But which one do you think is best?
