WHAT HAPPENED?
The Brazil international was booed by the home supporters as he went to take a corner kick just before the half hour mark. The 33-year-old then sent the ball sailing into the net and turned around to strike a pose at the Inter fans. His celebration was similar to one performed by Cristiano Ronaldo during the Portugal star's time at Real Madrid.

Neymar's goal gave Santos a two-goal cushion and five minutes later he went on to set up Tiquinho Soares for a third. After failing to find the net in his first three matches since joining on a free transfer from Al-Hilal, the ex-Barcelona star got up and running with a goal and an assist against Agua Santa before the weekend's clash.
