"Every time I've played against St Etienne, with hard work there has been a couple of goals. I've scored a couple of goals tonight and hopefully I can do the same next week," Ibrahimovic told BT Sport. The match was billed as a battle of the Pogba brothers with younger sibling Paul facing St Etienne's Florentin for the first time in a competitive encounter. It was the 35-year-old Ibrahimovic who stole the show, however, grabbing his first United hat-trick and taking his tally in a remarkable maiden season at Old Trafford to 23. Elsewhere, Shakhtar Donetsk won 1-0 at Celta Vigo with a 27th-minute goal from Gustavo Blanco Leschuk, while Sparta Prague were thrashed 4-0 at Rostov and FC Krasnodar beat visitors Fenerbahce 1-0.
