Angel Di Maria furiously throws bottle in reaction to Wout Weghorst's equaliser

Angel Di Maria could not contain his fury as Argentina threw away a two-goal lead in their thrilling World Cup quarter-final against Netherlands.

Lionel Messi and Co. appeared to be cruising towards the last four with less than 10 minutes remaining at Lusail Stadium. Messi set up Nahuel Molina's first-half opener with a stunning through-ball before doubling the lead from the penalty spot with just over quarter of an hour remaining.
