Neymar surpassed Ronaldo and moved to second on Brazil's all-time goalscoring list with a hat-trick in a 4-2 win against Peru in World Cup qualifying.

Two penalties and a last-minute tap-in took the Paris Saint-Germain forward's tally to 64 for his country, two ahead of Ronaldo and 13 behind Pele's all-time record of 77.

28-year-old Neymar has scored his goals in 104 international appearances, while Pele played 92 times for his country.

Brazil head coach Tite told reporters after the match that it was "unfair" to compare Neymar and Ronaldo.
