Ligue 1 Round 12: Neymar Scores One and Assists Two, Helps Paris Win Big and Overcomes Injury Troubles
Neymar scored one goal and assisted two as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured a comfortable victory over Lyon in their Ligue 1 match on Sunday.
The Brazilian forward was the key player for PSG, who dominated the game from start to finish. Neymar's first-half strike gave PSG the lead before he set up his team-mate Mauro Icardi with a sublime pass in the second half that helped him score the second goal.
The win means PSG have moved back into the top spot in the league table, with just four points separating them from leaders Marseille. It is a significant achievement for PSG, who have struggled this season, but they will be looking to continue their winning ways against Nice next weekend.
However, Neymar's performance has not been without its challenges. The Brazil international suffered an ankle injury during the match and had to leave the pitch early. He was replaced by Edinson Cavani, who played well in his place.
Despite the setback, PSG remain confident of securing a top-four finish this season. They have already qualified for the Champions League knockout stages and will be hoping to progress further in the competition.
Overall, it was another impressive display from PSG under the guidance of coach Mauricio Pochettino. With Neymar continuing to show his world-class talent, there is no doubt that PSG will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in Ligue 1.
