With England due to take on Brazil tomorrow night, Sports Mole brings you five of the best goals scored by Neymar.

Tomorrow evening England are due to come up against one of the most highly-rated young footballers in world football - Neymar.

Some of Europe's top clubs have spent the last two or three years clambering over each other to secure the 21-year-old Santos striker's services - a battle that was eventually recently won by Barcelona.

But what is all the fuss about? Just how good is the Brazilian international? Below are five of what Sports Mole believes to be his best goals during what has been a short career to date. Neymar may well believe that the Yellows have nothing to fear at Maracana, but England certainly do.

5. Brazil vs. Iraq in 2012

Of his 19 international goals, this one is arguably the most memorable. It may only have been against minnows Iraq, but Neymar showed his clinical touch by cutting inside before curling the ball beyond the reach of a diving goalkeeper and just inside the far post.

4. Santos vs. Atletico Mineiro in 2012

Playing against one his heroes Ronaldinho, Neymar scored a goal that the former Barcelona and AC Milan attacker would have been proud. He shows a neat trick at the start of the move that resulted in two Mineiro defenders tackling each other! The number 11 then moves into the area before finding the net with a shot that wrongfoots the goalkeeper.

3. Santos vs. Flamengo in 2012

Pace, power and athleticism - Neymar revealed that he possessed all three in abundance with this goal. It looked as though the defender had done enough by forcing him wide, but the attacker had the presence of mind to lift the ball over the keeper from a tight angle and into the net.

2. Santos vs. Internacional in 2012

Neymar netted three goals in this game, but this was by far the pick of the bunch. Internacional midfielder Oscar, now of Chelsea, gives away possession and Santos break at pace. Neymar picks up possession just inside his own half and proceeds to weave his way beyond opponents before dinking the ball into the net.

1. Santos vs. Flamengo in 2011

The fact that this goal won the FIFA Puskas Award should tell you all you need to know about the quality of it. Neymar lent the ball to a teammate and then tricked his way beyond the last defender to open up the chance, which he duly converted.
