The Brazilian ace also scored a very similar goal on Match Day 1 in the Champions League against Porto.
The 23-year-old scored both his goals in the competition with a header.
Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku and Manchester City defender John Stones are the only other layers in the Champions League to have also scored twice with their head this season.
Lukaku scored a brace in the 4-1 win over CSKA Moscow and has now netted in both his two Champions League games as well.
Stones meanwhile scored a brace using his head in the 4-0 win over Feyenoord on Match Day 1.
