Gyokeres' late winner fires Potters' Sweden past Poland to World Cup
Viktor Gyokeres scored a dramatic winner in the 88th-minute as Graham Potter's Sweden overcame Poland in their play-off final to reach this summer's World Cup.
Anthony Elanga put the hosts in front with a superb finish after being teed up by Yasin Ayari's clever flick. The lead lasted just 13 minutes before Nicola Zalewski curled in a shot from the edge of the box for Poland. Gustaf Lagerbielke powerfully headed home from Benjamin Nygren's free-kick just before half-time. Poland fought back again with Karol Swiderski tapping in from close range after Zalewski had stolen in around the back to put the ball back across goal. Besfort Zeneli's shot came back off the post, leading to Gyokeres smashing into an empty net.
Victory also meant Sweden gained revenge, having been beaten by Poland in the World Cup qualifying play-off final four years ago.
