The first Le Classique of the 2017/18 season started and ended in spectacular fashion.

From Luiz Gustavo's 30-yard screamer, Neymar equalising then getting sent off to Marseille re-taking the lead courtesy of Florian Thauvin, before Edinson Cavani levels in the 93rd-bloody-minute.

The Brazilian sensation went from hero to villain. He netted in the first half to keep up his incredible goal scoring form since swapping Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.

Though heading into the final few minutes of normal time, Neymar received his second yellow card for 'shoving' a player, subsequently picking up a red card.

Marseille were on course to close the gap on their arch rivals until Cavani stepped up.

PSG had the opportunity to level in the dying stages of the game through a free-kick on the edge of Marseille's box.

Obviously, No.1 set-piece taker, Neymar, was off the field so Cavani was responsible.

And the Uruguayan curled in a sublime free-kick, bagging a dramatic 93rd minute goal.


WHAT A HIT - Neymar who?!

The thrilling game was the talk of social media. Here's some of the reaction:
