Continues to prove his worth at St Mary’s with swashbuckling forays down the flank and this time helped his side take the spoils from the first-ever top-tier south coast derby against Bournemouth, as he set-up Steven Davis’ opener with a superb cross.

The Brazilian schemer once again came up with goods for Liverpool, striking a deadly double in rather sensational style against Chelsea, nabbing first the equaliser before putting his club ahead. At just 23, there looks much more to come from the maestro.
