Watch Neymar’s ‘filthy’ nutmeg as he scores stunning PSG goal after starting move in his own half against Lorient
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN forward Neymar reminded the club’s fanbase of his quality after scoring twice in a thumping 5-1 victory against Lorient.
Just weeks after being booed by the Les Parisiens’ faithful following their Champions League exit, the Brazilian trickster wowed supporters at Parc des Princes on Sunday.
The 30-year-old, who has been linked with a sensational summer switch to Newcastle, opened the scoring in the 12th minute with an unerring finish into the bottom corner.
And he completed the rout in stoppage time as he finished off an incredible move which he started in his own half.
Neymar picked up the ball when he nutmegged Fabien Lemoine, before driving into Lorient’s half.
He then played a delightful one-two with Kylian Mbappe, who also scored twice in the win.

And just like for his opener, Neymar was left one on one with goalkeeper Matthieu Dreyer.
In an almost identical position from where he broke the deadlock, he waited for the shot-stopper to go down before curling over him down the middle of the goal.
Supporters wasted no time in lauding his strike, as one user tweeted: “This Neymar goal is one of the craziest I’ve ever seen.”
Another remarked: “People who don’t rate him simply don’t like football.”
