Phillipe Coutinho Produces Insane Assist for Al Duhail in Qatari Stars Cup

• Phillipe Coutinho has hit the ground running at Al Duhail
• The Brazilian was on target with a goal as his side beat Al-Gharafa in the Qatari Stars Cup
• He now has two goals in three appearances for the club in three games

Phillipe Coutinho continues his revival in football as he was in inspired form for Al Duhail in the Qatari Stars Cup on Saturday, October 14.

The Brazilian joined Al-Duhail in a loan deal from Aston Villa after injuries forced him down the pecking order at the Premier League club under Unai Emery.

Coutinho’s move to the Qatari league came after a mass exodus of big names in Europe, who decided to join the Saudi Arabia league.

In their unveiling, Al-Duhail described Coutinho as a “great asset”, and barely weeks into his spell with his new club and the former Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan playmaker is already bossing the league.
