'Crybaby' Neymar teases fans after goal
Neymar taunted Nimes fans after scoring his fourth goal of the season for Paris St-Germain in a dramatic victory - with Kylian Mbappe sent off late on.
The Brazilian ran over to a banner in the crowd calling him a 'chorona' - crybaby in Portuguese - and mimicked crying after opening the scoring.
Angel di Maria then netted directly from a corner but Antonin Bobichon and Teji Savanier scored to make it 2-2.
Mbappe and Edinson Cavani scored for PSG but the teenager was then sent off.
He reacted angrily to a tackle from Savanier - who was also dismissed - in injury time.
Brazil forward Neymar's theatrics during this summer's World Cup made him a figure of fun, while France's Mbappe won the tournament.
Paris St-Germain, who have clinched four of the last five French league titles, have won their opening four Ligue 1 games this season.
