Neymar stops security removing pitch invader

Barcelona star Neymar let one young fan celebrate with the Brazil team after he made his way onto the pitch following last night's friendly against South Africa in Johannesburg.

Neymar netted a hat-trick in Brazil's 5-0 rout over South Africa, and one young boy wanted to get closer to the action.

A video has emerged of the youngster being led away by security until Neymar picked him up and carried him over to his Brazilian teammates, who were more than happy to celebrate with the boy.

Neymar posed for photographs with the child, while Chelsea duo David Luiz and Oscar also got involved.
