Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored four times - including a breathtaking 25-meter half volley that capped a 19-minute hat-trick - as Paris St. Germain humbled Anderlecht 5-0 in their Champions League Group C match on Wednesday.
The Sweden international struck in the 17th, 22nd and 36th minutes - the eighth quickest treble in Champions League history - and added PSG's fifth just past the hour to lead the French champion to victory at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium.
His third goal was so good it earned a round of applause from the generous home fans, and Ibrahimovic - seldom afraid to play to the galleries - applauded them back.
