Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko admits his delight after scoring both goals in his side's 2-1 Euro 2012 win over Sweden.

Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko has revealed his delight after scoring a brace in his side's 2-1 Euro 2012 win over Sweden.

The 35-year-old scored a double to help his side move top of Group D, and he has insisted that it was a "historic" game for Ukraine.

"I feel great, like I am 20 years old, so I feel fine. This was a historic game for us, a great victory. I feel less adrenaline in my body now, but more in my head. I tried to be at my best, and I succeeded," he told German TV channel ZDF.

"I would like to thank everyone who supported me to be fit for the Euros. I had some fitness problems before the tournament, but I am here now!"

Shevchenko has scored 48 goals for his country.
