Liverpool star duo in bust-up – footage emerges of teammates pulling them apart
Liverpool teammates Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz were involved in a post-match bust-up after Uruguay’s game against Colombia.
The two nations met in a World Cup qualifier that featured a dramatic finish as Colombia’s Andres Gomez scored an equaliser in the 84th minute, only for Manuel Ugarte to find a 101st-minute winner for Uruguay.
Nunez led the post-match celebrations as emotions boiled over between the two teams, which led to an argument taking place in the middle of the pitch, and the two Liverpool stars were at the heart of it.
Diaz and Nunez were seen arguing with each other and being pulled away by teammates as they tried to calm the situation down.

Liverpool braced for awkward reunion when Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz return to the club
Neither Nunez nor Diaz made much impact on the game overall, as they both failed to register a goal or an assist throughout the end-to-end fixture.
However, the post-match fall-out could make things awkward when they return to Liverpool straight after the international break.
Liverpool are currently top of the Premier League with a five-point gap over Man City after the opening 11 fixtures.
Diaz has scored nine goals and provided two assists this season for the Reds while Nunez has scored three and created two assists.
Liverpool will be back in action on Sunday (24 November) when they face Southampton in the Premier League.
