After a drab first half, the 21-year-old Real Sociedad striker exploded into life in the second, bamboozling the Slovak defence with mazy dribbles and sharp changes of direction that reminded Swedish fans of a young Zlatan Ibrahimovic. "To play the Euros in these arenas and to do it for Sweden, it's an unbelievable feeling, and I'm so happy that we managed to take three points from this game."
