Marko Arnautovic played throughout as Austria were beaten 3-0 by  World Cup favourites Brazil today.

Making his 72nd appearance for his country he was on the wrong end of a defeat which sends the South Americans to Russia on a big high with Gabriel Jesus, Neymar and Philippe Coutinho getting the goals.

Arnie though was a threat and in the first half when he was denied by a last-ditch tackle from Tiago Silva, saw a half-volley go just over Alisson’s crossbar, and was also thwarted by the alert Roma goalkeeper on the stroke of half-time.

He went close in the second period when hitting the side netting with a 25-yard shot hit the side netting after 50 minutes.

The Austrians missed out on qualification for the World Cup themselves, finishing fourth in a group that also contained winners Serbia, Republic of Ireland and Wales.
