Van Dijk and Wirtz on target as Liverpool teammates clash

Virgil van Dijk and Florian Wirtz both scored in Thursday's UEFA Nations League fixtures, with the two Liverpool teammates facing each other as the Netherlands met Greece.

Wirtz was involved from the outset in Germany's 2-0 win over Serbia. His feint inside the box produced a shot that struck the left post, with Tom Bischof converting the rebound to open the scoring.

The Liverpool No.7 added his own goal just past the hour mark, controlling a pass into the area with his heel before deceiving the goalkeeper and slotting into the bottom right corner.

In Thessaloniki, Kostas Tsimikas featured for Greece as the hosts built a 2-0 half-time lead against the Netherlands. Van Dijk pulled one back in the 59th minute with a clinical header from a corner, sparking a Dutch comeback that ended 2-2. Ryan Gravenberch came on at half-time for the Netherlands, while Jeremie Frimpong remained on the bench throughout.

In Cardiff, Lewis Koumas led the line for Wales as they came from behind to beat 10-man Norway 2-1.

On Wednesday, Academy midfielder Erik Farkas started and played 60 minutes of England U18s' 2-1 victory over South Korea at the UEFA Friendship Cup.
