Brazilian icon Neymar was left in tears after suffering the heaviest defeat of his career on Sunday night.

The forward, 33, rejoined boyhood club Santos earlier this year after a nightmare 18-month spell at Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal where he was riddled by injuries.

Neymar has had a mixed impact back in his homeland, scoring six goals and adding three assists in 19 games, but Santos are 15th in the Brazilian top flight and just two points clear of the relegation zone.

And on Sunday, things reached a nadir for Neymar as Santos were beaten 6-0 by Vasco da Gama.
