Senegal clinched the Africa Cup of Nations title with a dramatic 1–0 victory over hosts Morocco in a final marred by controversy, protests and extraordinary scenes late in the game.

Head coach Pape Thiaw, incensed by the call, ordered his players off the pitch in protest. Moments later, Díaz went down under a challenge from El Hadji Malick Diouf, leading to the controversial penalty award. Within five minutes of the restart, Senegal struck the decisive blow through Pape Gueye, giving the West Africans the lead.

That fear has been sharply focused on the case of heroic Iranian protester Erfan Soltani. But human rights groups warn that even if Soltani avoids execution, he could still face years of extreme torture inside Iran's prison system, where detainees describe beatings, pepper spray and electric shocks, including to the genitals. Human rights organisations warn that these practices are not isolated incidents, but form part of a wider pattern across Iran's detention system. But rights groups believe that number to be far higher, estimating up to 20,000 arrests. But Tehran has since confirmed that Soltani will not face execution, after Trump warned that executing anti-government demonstrators could trigger military action.

A highly competitive 90 minutes at Rabat's Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah was short on genuine chances, and it was not added time that the fireworks really began. Thiaw's men, fuelled by a sense of injustice, regrouped and forced their way in front when Gueye surged forward and blasted a left-foot piledriver past Bounou and in off the underside of the crossbar. Bounou denied Cherif Ndiaye a second with a stunning double save and Gueye's contribution ultimately proved decisive.

If US president Donald Trump goes ahead with his threat to impose tariffs on eight European countries, then the EU has no choice but to respond. There are discussions and some differences of view on how quickly the EU should now move, particularly given Trump’s failure to follow through on some previous tariff threats. But the US president must be left in no doubt that the EU will fight back against his latest attempt at bullying. While only six member states have been threatened with new tariffs, the EU must respond as a bloc. But, as the Taoiseach said, if the tariffs are put in place, then the EU has to respond.

Lara Trump has been blasted online for 'cringe' dancing in a new music video, filmed at her father-in-law, President Donald Trump's National Golf Club. Ramadan posted clips of behind-the-scenes footage from the music video shoot in Miami, as the top-charting singer taught Trump his signature 'Tiger Dance' moves, Yahoo reported.

Old Park Star was among the horses Hall and his wife Su moved from Paul Nicholls’ Ditcheat base in Somerset to Nicky Henderson and Seven Barrows in Lambourn over the summer. While Nicholls has been credited for his patience with Old Park Star and another promising novice, Act Of Innocence, in their formative days, Henderson is undoubtedly reaping the rewards. Old Park Star is as low as 2-1 for the Supreme, with Act Of Innocence due to test his Festival credentials at Cheltenham on Trials day at the weekend. “Hopefully we’ll have the same result with Act Of Innocence. “Because of how Old Park Star performed last time at Cheltenham – we were a bit surprised that day – Nico (de Boinville) got off and said he didn’t ride him, he came up the hill by himself.

Senegal were later convinced back onto the pitch, with the penalty kick eventually taken by Diaz in the 113th minute - 17 minutes after he was fouled. Regragui deemed his player's race run, with Diaz substituted at the start of the 30 added minutes. But Senegal clung on, with players collapsing in ecstasy on the sodden pitch after the most dramatic reversals of fortune. On the penalty, he wondered 'what Brahim Diaz (was) doing' and called him 'too clever for his own good.' He may never ever get another chance to score a winning goal in an AFCON final,' he continued.
