Video: Neymar tricks two Peru defenders with sublime 'sombrero' in Copa America

Neymar had some tricks up his sleeve as he took on the Peruvian defence

Brazil captain Neymar is as much in the news for his goalscoring as he is for his flicks and tricks. Neymar scored one and assisted another in Brazil's 2-1 win over Peru, and had one attempt rattle off the crossbar. But there were a few tricks up his sleeve too.

The Barcelona man came up with a double sombrero as he left two defenders in his wake before being brought down. The Peruvian defence found it hard to contain Neymar and he was fouled time and again during the match.

The Brazilian has displayed such skills since his Santos days and makes it evident that tricks and skills are part and parcel of his game. Neymar angered a few Athletic Bilbao players with a rainbow flick during the Copa Del Rey final not too long ago. And he also popped a ball into the net from behind the goal during a training session with Brazil.

The Brazilian star never shies away from attempting tricks and dribbles during matches and seems unapologetic about it by the fact that he keeps doing them match after match. Neymar surely brings a flair to the pitch, and from the looks of it, there's more to come from the Barcelona star in the ongoing Copa America.
