A dazzling Neymar scored a brace, won a penalty and provided two assists as 10-man Paris Saint-Germain closed out Toulouse 6-2 in the former Barcelona star's home debut on Sunday.
The Brazil international followed up his goal and assist at Amiens with a similar effort at the Parc des Princes, bagging the Parisians' 31st-minute equaliser with a stabbed effort from close range after the visitors had stunned Unai Emery's side with a well-worked goal in the 18th minute.
Neymar then set up Adrien Rabiot's fine left-footed strike from range four minutes later to give the hosts a lead heading into the break.
Marco Verratti was sent off for a second yellow card in the 69th minute, but PSG pushed on and found their third six minutes later -- Edinson Cavani stroking home from the penalty spot after Neymar was hacked down in the box.
Toulouse weren't done however, and cut the lead via a Thiago Silva own goal. But it only served to spring the home side into another gear.
Substitute Javier Pastore scored a wonderful goal from distance and left-back Layvin Kurzawa's leaping volley of an inch-perfect Neymar corner kick made it 5-2.
Neymar then capped the night with a brilliant individual goal that saw him wriggle free of three defenders before firing past Alban Lafont to put a stylish gloss on the win.
