Earlier this week Zlatan Ibrahimovic claimed that he's easily the best player in Major League Soccer (MLS).

On Friday night he proved just why.

The Swedish striker scored a perfect hat-trick for LA Galaxy, finding the back of the net with his left foot, right foot and head to lead his side to an important win against rivals Los Angeles FC.

He now has 41 goals in 44 MLS games - more than any other player this season.
