Daniel Svensson celebrates first Sweden goal with an acrobatic move in 3-2 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina

Daniel Svensson headed in the first goal of his national-team career - and celebrated with a little acrobatic move. “It’s usually that gesture for special moments,” says the winger of his goal celebration.

It didn't even take five minutes before Daniel Svensson, currently playing at right-back, headed in Sweden's opening goal against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It was his first goal for the Blue and Yellows, for whom he now has 20 international caps. Svensson later won the penalty that Viktor Gyökeres scored to make it 3-0 at the end of the first half.

We held on, got three points and scored the first goal. So of course you're happy, says Svensson after Sweden narrowly won 3-2.

About the free kick after his headed goal, the 24-year-old says:

I've done it a few times in Germany (Dortmund) too. It wasn't planned this time, but I'm not surprised it came to me when I put it in. I did it a lot when I was a kid, and it's just stayed with me since then.
