Graeme Souness said Bruno Fernandes “mugged off” Uruguay defender Jose Maria Gimenez in the lead-up to Portugal’s second goal in Monday’s 2-0 win.
The Manchester United midfielder nutmegged the Atletico Madrid star while he was going to ground and the ball hit Gimenez's supporting hand, leading to the referee awarding a penalty following an intervention from the VAR.
Fernandes stepped up to coolly slot the ball home in stoppage time and grab his second of the game after being awarded his country’s first of the night on 54 minutes. There had been debate over who had grabbed the opener with Cristiano Ronaldo running off in celebration after claiming to have got a nick on Fernandes’ cross into the box.
