Vine: Fernandinho’s Pirlo-esque assist as Brazil tame Turkey

That Willian lad had a decent outing too

Ben Kiely

 Is there anything more satisfying than a pinged, long-distance assist?

Neymar bagged his 41st goal for his country to take the lead against Turkey tonight. However, he was helped quite a bit by this absolutely exquisite assist from Fernandinho. The Man City midfielder split the defence in tow with this extraordinary lofted pass that somehow landed perfectly for the Barca striker. Pick that one out!

Brazil eventually sauntered to a 4-0 win after Kaya’s own goal, a second from Neymar and a goal-scoring contribution from Willian. The Chelsea midfielder also chipped in with this sublime piece of foot-work that left two Turkish players in his wake.
