João Neves stars in Lyon–PSG, Benfica ace nets stunning goal (Video) | OneFootball

João Neves was the great hero of Lyon – PSG. Already in stoppage time of the 12th round match of Ligue 1, and with the score tied at two, the former Benfica player headed the ball into the back of the net and gave victory to Luis Enrique's team, sending the Parisian fans into a frenzy.

The match actually started in the best possible way for PSG, with Warren Zaïre-Emery opening the scoring in the 26th minute. However, Afonso Moreira equalized shortly after, in the 30th minute. In response, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia put João Neves and Gonçalo Ramos' team back in front.

In the second half, Lyon started better and Maitland-Niles made it 2-2 in the 50th minute. However, the best was yet to come. With Gonçalo Ramos already on the pitch – he came on in the 74th minute to replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia –, João Neves scored the winning goal following a corner in the 90+5th minute.

With this victory – their ninth in 16 games this season – PSG now has 27 points from 12 matches (eight wins, three draws, and one loss) and remains at the top of Ligue 1. João Neves' team – which has been making headlines recently – and Gonçalo Ramos are closely followed by Marseille and Lens, both with 25 points.

This season, playing for PSG, João Neves – valued at 90 million euros – has played eight matches: six in Ligue 1 and two in the Champions League. In the 458 minutes he has played for the French club, the former Benfica player, who was injured and only recently returned, has scored five goals.
