Neymar showed glimpses of being back at his best

Tite had said in one of his press conferences that Neymar will take four to five games to get back at his best. Three games down, the talisman had his most impressive outing against Serbia. After failing to make a mark against Switzerland followed by a below-par performance against Costa Rica, Neymar made amends against the Serbs.

The PSG star was all over the field and worked hard to get involved in Brazil's attacks. He attempted seven shots, completed nine dribbles and provided an assist for the second goal.

Neymar has a swagger about him when he's on song which was starkly evident last night. With his assist to Thiago Silva in the second half, Neymar now has been involved in 19 goals for Brazil in his last 18 matches (10 goals, 9 assists).
