After nearly four years, 33-year-old striker Neymar scored three goals in a single match, leading Santos to a 3-0 victory over hosts Juventude in round 37 of the Brazilian championship.
Despite a recent knee injury, Neymar played through the pain and scored the opening goal in Santos' 3-0 victory over visiting Sport Recife in round 36 of the Brazilian championship.
Neymar is likely to undergo knee arthroscopy, his 15th injury in the last five seasons, potentially missing Santos' final three matches in the Brazil national championship.
