The Ukraine captain took his tally to 48 in 108 international appearances with two superb headers within seven minutes of each other – his opposite number Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s neat 52nd minute finish had given the Swedes the lead. The victory sees Ukraine – who are co-hosting the tournament with Poland – top the table after the other group D match between France and England ended 1-1. (Agencies)
