Bolasie stars as Criciuma stun Vasco da Gama

Former Crystal Palace and Everton winger Yannick Bolasie is starring in Brazil with Criciuma.

Bolasie, 34, has starred in the opening weeks of the Brasileiro season.

For yesterday's 3-0 win at Vasco da Gama, Bolasie only needed 60 minutes on the pitch to wreak havoc.

During that time he scored a goal, distributed two assists and left a gesture that the Rio technical team took as a provocation.

The veteran player, who has spent almost his entire career in England, just smiled in response.

The result eventually saw Vasco sack coach Ramon Diaz.
