During the warm-up in Valencia earlier this week, Viktor Gyökeres said it was not unreasonable to aim for the national team goal record held by Zlatan Ibrahimović in the future.
Ibrahimović scored 62 goals for the Blue and Yellows.
After Saturday night's victory in front of 51,049 spectators in Solna, Gyökeres has 27 goals. But perhaps the most impressive thing is the pace at which the Arsenal striker is scoring.
Goals in every match this autumn
During Graham Potter's first year as national team coach, Gyökeres has averaged one goal per match - and scored in all five Nations League matches this autumn.
The first half was more fun to play. We scored three and almost got a fourth (one goal was disallowed), and that was positive. Then in the second half it was the exact opposite, says the 28-year-old.
Gyökeres scored twice from the penalty spot as Sweden went 3-0 up before the break.
No talk of Isak taking the second?
Yes, he was. But I was also keen and felt I wanted to take it this time. But we usually split the penalties. We have done that in the past and will do so in the future too, says Gyökeres.
"Where we want to be"
His performances for the national team this autumn have been key to Sweden securing promotion to League A for the next edition of the Nations League. After the win against Bosnia-Herzegovina, Sweden have already secured top spot in the group before Tuesday's final match against Poland in Wrocław.
That's where (in League A) we want to be. We will meet the big nations and measure ourselves against them, says Gyökeres.
Despite the three points, he admitted that the joy of victory was mixed with a slightly sour feeling afterwards, considering Sweden's weak second half, in which Bosnia-Herzegovina nearly came back from 0-3 to make it 3-3.
It's really just a mental issue, since we don't change anything tactically and go out with the same eleven. Unconsciously, we don't get up to the same pace as they do, and we relax a bit and think it will be easy. Then it gets tough, and they made it tough for us in the second half.
Since the match against Poland is now meaningless, Gyökeres was asked if he was keen to play. His sights are set on scoring more goals for the national team:
I always want to play football, so you'll have to ask Graham.
