Just Lucas Torreira doing Lucas Torreira things.

He produced not one but two brilliant tackles in the penalty area.

Torreira started in the middle of the park against Brazil on Friday night at the Emirates. Familiar surroundings for the pitbull-like midfielder who played like his normal self.

Flying into tackles, getting himself about in tenacious fashion which includes his heroic double-tackle inside his own box.

He brilliantly denied Neymar by putting in a great block before preventing Roberto Firmino from getting a shot on with a well-timed slide tackle.

Arsenal fans loved seeing their player own Neymar and Firmino.

Brazil vs. Uruguay was a feisty encounter with eight yellow cards dished out with Torreira being one of the players booked.

Brazil eventually recorded the victory thanks to a 76th minute penalty from Neymar.
