Burnley striker in World Cup dispute with Argentina legends Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero

The clip, taken from the players’ tunnel at the Lusail Stadium, emerged after Lionel Scaloni’s side prevailed in a penalty shoot-out following a fiery and ill-tempered 2-2 draw in Qatar.

Weghorst, 30, who moved to Turf Moor from Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg in January, scored twice in under 20 minutes for the Netherlands, having netted just twice in 20 appearances for the Clarets in the Premier League last season.

The towering striker, who has found the net six times in 13 starts during a loan spell with Turkish Super Lig side Besiktas, flicked Steven Berghuis’ delivery past Aston Villa stopper Emiliano Martinez in the 83rd minute, just five minutes after replacing Barcelona’s Memphis Depay as a substitute.

He then brought Louis van Gaal’s men level in the 10th and final minute of stoppage time, slotting the ball home after a wonderfully worked set-piece from Teun Koopmeiners.

Two-time champions Argentina, who last won the tournament in 1986, were two goals to the good when Messi scored from the spot with a quarter-of-an-hour remaining, adding to Nahuel Molina’s first half opener.

Neither side were able to make a breakthrough in extra-time, meaning the prize of a semi-final against Croatia would be decided by the lottery of a penalty shoot-out.

Weghorst converted his as the fourth taker, though the damage had already been inflicted as Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk and Berghuis had missed from the spot. Lautaro Martinez then scored the decisive kick as delirium and disappointment intertwined on the halfway line.

After Spanish official Antonio Mateu had brandish 17 cards during a heated encounter, two-goal hero Weghorst and former Manchester City star Aguero came head-to-head, while Messi could be heard commenting in the background.

Weghorst seemed disgruntled that an opposition player had refused to shake his hand afterwards and both Lisandro Martinez and Lautaro Martinez intervened in an attempt to diffuse the situation.

Aguero shook the Burnley striker’s hand before walking away, but refused to let the incident go. The Manchester City goal-scoring record-holder, who won the PL title five times during his time at the Etihad, posted a string of tweets mocking the Dutch squad.

His first paired a picture of their dejection with the caption: “Go play FIFA”, while another post, which showed Messi confronting Weghorst in a post-match interview, read: “When they look at your girl”, accompanied by several laughing emojis.
