Philippe Coutinho has set the Premier League on fire with his long range goals these past couple of seasons, and he took his skills to the international stage with a hat-trick as Brazil demolished Haiti 7-1 in their Copa America Centenario group stage match.
Renato Augusto scored a brace, Gabriel and Lucas Lima one each, but Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho stole the show for Brazil against Haiti in Orlando, Florida. He opened the scoring in the 15th minute after jinking and zig-zagging his way past the Haiti defenders and unleashing a screamer that gave Brazil the lead.
It turned out to be a 7-1 victory for the Selecao as Coutinho netted twice more in the game. Brazil moved to the top of Group B ahead of Ecuador and Peru, and in the process, eliminated Haiti.
