In an interview, the Swede striker said 'Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney is "the perfect player" and deserves more respect from the media'

Rooney produced a very stunning display which coul also be called his best display of the season so far in a Europa League match against Feyenoord in which they came out victorious with a 4-0 win. Rooney scored the first goal of the match and later providing an assist for Juan Mata to score the second goal of the match. The performance came in the wake of a difficult spell in the 31-year-old's career, with uncertainty around his place in the United and England starting line-ups exacerbated when pictures emerged showing him looking worse for wear at a wedding reception following the 3-0 World Cup qualifying win over Scotland.

Rooney himself hit out at the media coverage of that incident, and Ibrahimovic has some sympathy for the way in which his captain has been under scrutiny.

"First of all, as a person, he's fantastic," he said of Rooney, who became United's leading goalscorer in European competition with his Feyenoord strike. "I had the luck to get to know the person. As a player, there are no words. He's the perfect player: everybody knows what he can do and what he has done.

Diego Costa's Goal Moves Chelsea Up To Top of The League

Chelsea forward Diego Costa has scored his tenth goal this season in Chelsea's match against Middlesbrough where they came out victorious with a 1-0 win and this win comes to total a six match winning streak for the team which has seen them move up to the top of the English Premier League's table.

Striker Diego Costa struck for the third game in a row quite close to the halftime of the game on Sunday making the Antonio Conte's team move to the top of the leagues table after winning six consecutive matches.

Now, they are just a single point ahead of Liverpool and Manchester City who are currently in the second and third place respectively. They are also three points ahead of fourth place Arsenal.

"It was a good performance against a very strong team," Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said in an interview with Sky Sports.

"Don't forget Middlesbrough drew with Arsenal and Man City away. For this reason I'm pleased for the performance and attitude of my players.

"If you have the possibility to kill the game, it's important to kill the game. But I'm pleased because Middlesbrough showed themselves to be a good team."

Only the woodwork prevented Chelsea from winning by a more handsome margin as Pedro Rodriguez hit the bar midway through the second half, during which Middlesbrough were forced to hang on for long spells.

Aitor Karanka's side retained hope while the deficit remained at a single goal, but the gulf in class between the sides was clear.

It leaves Boro one point above the relegation zone in their first season back in the Premier League following promotion.

"I am really pleased with the attitude of my players," said Karanka.

"I am not worried about the look of the league table at the moment because all I am concerned about is the performances.

"If the performances were bad I would worry, but if the performances are good then we will start to win games."

Costa rewarded Chelsea's dominance as the Spain striker put the visitors – unchanged for the fifth consecutive league game – ahead four minutes before the end of the first half.

It stemmed from a disputed corner, Middlesbrough claiming debutant fullback Fabio da Silva had not touched the ball as it ran out of play.
