Neymar scored a brilliant goal on his return from injury as Brazil began their World Cup preparations with a win over Croatia at Anfield.

The Paris St-Germain star, 26, smashed a shot in off the bar after a slick move involving Chelsea's Willian and Barcelona's Philippe Coutinho.

Croatia's high tempo created first-half chances for Dejan Lovren and Andrej Kramaric.

But Liverpool's Roberto Firmino scored in added time to seal the victory.

Another half chance! Rodrigo can't get his head on to the ball as it is flicked across goal, he just didn't time his jump.

Unlucky! Marco Asensio's free-kick is poor but it comes back to him, it is passed along the 18-yard line with nobody wanting to take it on, and defender Nacho eventually clips a lovely curler around his marker but against the angle of post and bar!

Nacho then heads wide from a corner. Two great chances!

It wasn't Nacho, it was Rodrigo, who had that chance. My mistake. Seconds later Thiago dives in to meet a cross from Nacho Monreal but he heads wide.
