Goncalo Guedes’ strike on the hour secured a 1-0 victory for the hosts at the Estadio do Dragao on Sunday, adding a second piece of major international silverware to go alongside Portugal’s Euro 2016 triumph. Few would have fancied Netherlands – who failed to qualify for that tournament as well as last year’s World Cup in Russia – to reach the inaugural Nations League Finals.

For the town of Glen Ridge, where the defendants and their victim all grew up, the case was a very personal tragedy. But for advocates of the mentally disabled and feminists, it was a test of how well the courts deal with retarded rape victims. “The jury essentially agrees with our view that people with mental retardation have rights,” says Herbert Lev, president of the local chapter of Association for Retarded Citizens....

Since arriving from Arsenal in 2014 the Belgium international has been blighted by hamstring and calf problems, with the 32-year-old having only made 16 La Liga appearances.

Bologna are winless in their league fixtures this year and suffered a 2-0 loss at home to Napoli in their previous league outing.
