Former Liverpool players Graeme Souness and Joe Cole both praised Cristiano Ronaldo for his attempt to claim Portugal's opening goal in their victory over Uruguay on Monday night.
Portugal secured a 2-0 win over the South American outfit in their Group H clash, with Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes being credited with a brace. While his second strike was undeniably his goal - given that he scored from the penalty spot - his opener initially appeared to have been headed home by Ronaldo.
However, the goal was eventually awarded to current United man Fernandes by FIFA - rather than his old club teammate. Fernandes' cross was inviting for the 37-year-old and ultimately alluded Sergio Rochet in the Uruguay goal, with Ronaldo wheeling away with his hand in the air claiming the goal.
