Neymar returned to the pitch a day after learning he's been handed a three-game suspension, which he will have to abide by from next Monday and the Brazilian, starter against Angers, opened the score in the 20th minute as a way to silence the critics.

The last few days have been very difficult for him. Neymar lost his cool at the end of April when he hit a fan after losing the final of the French Cup, which has since cost him a three match ban. 

However, by the French football regulations, the sanction begins to take effect next Monday, May 13, so Neymar could play this game against Angers, which will be the last of the season for him.

And, as expected, Neymar made the most of it, taking just 20 minutes to score. He did so with a strong header into the box. 

In a counteratack action by PSG, the ball ended up at Dani Alves' feet near the box. The Brazilian slowed down and when he saw Neymar at the back, he centred the ball so that the forward, with a very well executed header, could score 0-1.
