Just days after reaching the career landmark of 100 goals on his 20th birthday, Neymar continues to wow Brazil, as the wonderkid turned a Campeonato Paulista match on its head on Thursday.

Santos were losing 1-0 to Botofago (of Sao Paolo) until the 75th minute. A further 15 minutes later and Santos had won 4-1 with Neymar notching a classy hat-trick and also setting up the fourth goal for Anderson.

Once again, this display of finishing power shows just how well Santos did to hold on to their man despite ferocious interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

With a deal already reportedly in place for 2014, Neymar will likely continue to bang in the goals for Santos in the coming months.

Footage of Neymar’s hat-trick is on this video.
