🎥 Zlatan banned for two games after wrestling with NYCFC goalkeeper

Zlatan Ibrahimović has been handed a two-game ban after an altercation with NYCFC goalkeeper Sean Johnson.

LA Galaxy lost 2-0 to their east coast rivals on Saturday but, as per usual, it was the Swede who grabbed the headlines at Dignity Health Sports Park.

Going through on goal, Zlatan prodded an effort against the bar, but when the rebound was missed, Johnson couldn’t resist a little dig at the former Barcelona man.

Cue a very pathetic wrestling match and subsequent handbags.
