Liverpool survived a scare from Southampton as Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez inspired the fightback in a 3-1 win that lifted the Premier League leaders 16 points clear at the top on Saturday.
Nunez sprang forward to prod home the goal-bound ball, grabbing his first Champions League goal since February 2023.
After Colombia sealed a 1-0 victory in the Copa semi-final, Uruguay players climbed into the stands and exchanged blows with opposition fans.
There were two hattrick heroes -- Uruguay’s Darwin Nunez and Spain’s Mikel Oyarzabal -- and one very familiar face in Kylian Mbappe who propelled France to win on Wednesday’s international friendlies.
The Reds were again without a host of star names including Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota.
This was an essential victory for Liverpool's title ambitions.
After a sharp decline in standards last season, Liverpool look more like their old selves in the early weeks of the new campaign as five wins and a draw in their first six Premier League games sees Klopp's men sit two points adrift of Manchester City at the top of the table.
The 24-year-old Uruguayan has been out of favour so far this season, but his late brace against the Magpies showcased the best of his qualities and he will get more chances, Klopp told Sky Sports.
Darwin Nunez came off the bench to score twice as Liverpool snatched a sensational 2-1 Premier League win at Newcastle United on Sunday, with the visitors bouncing back from a straight red card in the first half for captain Virgil van Dijk.
