Corinthians beat Santos 2-0 to top of Brazil's Serie A
Former Manchester City and Brazil International striker Jo scored one and assisted another goal as Corinthians defeated Santos 2-0 in the Brazilian Serie A championship.
The hosts, on Saturday, took lead in the 69th minute at Arena Corinthians, with Paraguay international forward Angel Romero sliding a shot past goalkeeper Vanderlei from a headed pass from Jo, reports Xinhua news agency.
The latter goal from Jo was on the scoresheet six minutes later when he met Rodriguinho's headed cross with spectacular looping bicycle kick that flew into the top right corner.
The result left Corinthians at top of the 20-team standings with 10 points from four matches.
