Portugal beats Netherlands to win 1st nation league final

-

PORTO, Portugal (AP) — Portugal has won the inaugural UEFA Nations League tournament, beating the Netherlands 1-0 in Sunday's final for its second title in three years.

Gonçalo Guedes scored the winner early in the second half to give Portugal its first trophy since the 2016 European Championship.

The hosts' victory in UEFA's newest competition denied the Netherlands its first trophy since the 1988 European Championship. The revamped Dutch team was seeking some redemption after failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup and the 2016 European Championship.

Cristiano Ronaldo, coming off a hat trick in the semifinals, wasn't much of a factor against Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk in the matchup of likely contenders for the player of the year award, but Guedes couldn't be stopped when he hit a powerful right-footed shot from outside the area in the 60th minute at the Estádio do Dragão.

We give the a 'pants on fire' rating and reveal why they decided to hide behind a false number WHAT'S my 
age again? We’ve all been tempted to turn back the clock,  
but for these celebs age is just a (made-up) number Rap sheet Nicki Minaj told everyone she was 26 but when a police report came out it was revealed she was 28 Who:  Nicki Minaj, 37 Shaved off:  2 years After bursting on to the scene in 2010,  Nicki Minaj was accused of having a fake bum, but it turns 
out she had a faux age. In 2011 the rapper was involved in a fight, and the police report revealed that 
she was a (wizened, decrepit) 28, not the fresh-faced 26 she’d been telling everyone. If you can’t trust a pop star with a Cockney alter ego who sings songs about being the alpha female of the whole entire world, who can you trust, eh? Pants on fire rating:  ★ Keep the faith Paloma Faith took four years off her age because she thought it would stop her getting a record deal Who:  Paloma Faith,...

Frank Lampard’s dream return to Chelsea certainly didn’t go to plan, the Blues were smashed 4-0 by rivals Manchester United on the legend’s debut. Manchester United’s devastation of Chelsea today means that Frank Lampard has suffered the heaviest defeat by a Blues boss in their first game since 1978 – over 40 years ago. The Red Devils completely destroyed the Blues in the final half an hour of the clash which came as a surprise considering how closely contested the tie was in the opening 60 minutes. Chelsea had no answer to United’s frightening counter-attack and every goal this afternoon stemmed from a fast-paced attack that the Blues were incapable of dealing with. Here’s a look at the feat that Lampard wouldn’t have wanted to achieve today: 4-0 – As well as being the joint-heaviest managerial defeat of his career so far, Frank Lampard has suffered the heaviest defeat by a Chelsea manager in their first game in charge since Danny Blanchflower lost 7-2 at Middlesbrough in December 197...
