Neymar completely took apart Dijon last night, scoring four sensational goals and assisting two more in an 8-0 drubbing at the Parc des Princes.
The goals included a pinpoint free kick, smartly taken finish, Puskas Award-worthy run, and a controversial penalty. The performance was widely lauded by the world of football, though some PSG fans booed him for his decision to take the penalty from Cavani for his fourth, which would have made him PSG's leading all-time goalscorer.
Neymar kicked off his four goals with a direct FK.

His decision to pinch the penalty from the Uruguayan, if anything, just shows his dogged determination to snatch the Ballon d'Or from the grasps of Ronaldo and Messi this year, and his stats suggest he may well do that: Neymar has the most assists in Europe and a staggering 25 goals and 18 assists already this season.
