WATCH: Neymar marks home debut for Paris Saint-Germain in style

Neymar's settling in quite nicely at Paris Saint-Germain.

Having scored on his debut against at Guingamp a week ago, he marked his home bow as a PSG player with a brace. With Toulouse taking a surprise lead at the Parc des Princes through Max Gradel, the Brazilian was in the right place at the right time to bring his new team level after half an hour. https://twitter.com/btsportfootball/status/899355620343767044 Adrien Rabiot put PSG 2-1 up six minutes later, and many might have expected the floodgates to open. They did eventually, but those in attendance had to wait a while. A red card for Marco Verratti with 20 minutes to play might have seemed like an opportunity for the visitors to get back into the game. This, however, was not to be. Edinson Cavani made it 3-1 from the penalty spot, and although Toulouse pulled a goal back soon after, Javier Pastore and Layvin Kurzawa made the score 5-2 as the game entered stoppage time. The final say went to Neymar, who twisted and turned himself beyond a couple of defenders before slotting home PSG's sixth. https://twitter.com/btsportfootball/status/899374690640244738
