Neymar responded to taunts from rival fans in the perfect manner by scoring directly from a corner kick in Santos' 3-0 win over Internacional de Limeira.

Neymar has scored his first goal for Santos since returning to Brazil. Finding the net from the spot in a Sao Paulo state championship match will provide the 33-year-old forward some relief after a tough restart in Brazil.

Cupping his hand to his ear as he walked across to the left corner flag, Neymar demanded more boos from the Inter de Limeira faithful. Then he silenced them in an instant. His wicked delivery bent high towards the far post, goalkeeper Igo Gabriel unable to reach the ball before it crashed off the post and nestled in the net.
