Fantastic! Neymar scored a hat trick while playing with an injury

In the early hours of Thursday, December 4, Santos faced Juventude in a Brazilian Serie A Matchday 37 clash — and Neymar absolutely lit up the night.

After a scoreless first half, the second brought a masterclass from the Brazilian star. He opened the scoring in the 56th minute, doubled the lead nine minutes later, and just a few minutes after that sealed his hat-trick.

Three goals in 17 minutes — all while carrying an injury. Neymar powered his team to victory and helped them climb the table. Santos now sit 14th, just one point behind Atlético Mineiro, who currently occupy a Copa Sudamericana spot.
