Fans go mad for Neymar’s outrageous elastico nutmeg before being sent off and storming down tunnel for diving in PSG win

0 19

FANS went wild for a wonderful piece of Neymar trickery last night – before he was SENT-OFF for diving.

The forward returned to club duty with Paris Saint-Germain 19 days after Brazil crashed out of the World Cup.

And the 30-year-old certainly made his presence felt during the clash with Strasbourg.

Neymar firstly had supporters in bits as he produced a brilliant elastico nutmeg that left Adrien Thomasson completely bamboozled.

One fan commented: “Every match Neymar plays adds a new enemy to the group!”

Another tweeted: “The king of samba back with another classic for us. Elastico nutmeg against Strasbourg. Neymar is a joke.”

While a fellow fan wrote: “The elastico nutmeg will end up in the history book of Neymar comps.”

And another tweeted: “Neymar doing what he does the best. What a Nutmeg. Cheeky.”

Neymar’s night suffered a miserable ending though when he was giving his marching orders on 63 minutes.

He was first booked just past the hour-mark before he saw red for diving moments later.

HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON FOOTBALL

With the scores level at 1-1 after Marquinhos had scored at both ends, Neymar tried to con referee Clement Turpin.

But his attempt at trying to win a penalty went horribly wrong as he was penalised.

Neymar got to the ball before the defender on the right side of the box before falling to the ground without major contact – leading to him being awarded a second yellow card for simulation.

He had been looking to make a positive return to club football following his disappointing World Cup that was overshadowed by an ankle injury.

But instead the forward was sent off for the FIFTH time in his PSG career.

Fortunately for Neymar, his blushes were spared by Kylian Mbappe, who secured PSG’s sixth Ligue 1 victory on the bounce with a last-gasp penalty.

The Brazilian will now miss the New Year’s Day trip to Lens, who PSG lead by eight points at the top.
