Roberto Firmino comes off the bench to score the winner as Brazil beat Chile in a friendly at the Emirates.

Brazil have won their eighth game in a row by battling to a 1-0 victory over Chile at the Emirates Stadium.

Substitute Roberto Firmino found the breakthrough deep into the second half, when he latched onto a through ball from full-back Danilo, took the ball around Claudio Bravo and slid the ball into the empty net.

The striker wasted a chance to double Brazil's lead a few minutes later when Danilo found him on the edge of the box, but he scuffed his shot harmlessly wide.

Neymar also came close to wrapping up the win with a late free kick which whistled past the post.

Chile forced Brazil goalkeeper Jefferson into his first save in the 86th minute as Matias Fernandez's goal-bound free kick needed to be tipped round the post.

Prior to that, Brazil had the better chances of a poor game, as Neymar sent a free kick narrowly wide and Douglas Costa blazed high when well placed in the penalty area.

Chile dominated possession in North London, but they could not take advantage, with Alexis Sanchez's set piece which cleared the crossbar by a couple of feet the closest that they came to scoring before Fernandez's late effort.
