Joao Virginia walked into the home changing room after making his first appearance from Everton and received a standing ovation. The young Portuguese had just made a confident, and hugely impressive, start to life at his new club. David Unsworth would not hold back in his praise, either. “What he's done tonight is set a standard I've not seen at this level from a goalkeeper.” Everton's under-23s had responded from a poor first-half display to take control of the second-half and see off a powerful Leicester City side 1-0 thanks to Bassala Sambou's goal. But throughout the game, even when the Blues were off the pace in the opening 45 minutes, Virginia showed consistency.

EURACTIV Poland reports. “I would like to see the (ruling) Law and Justice party to be number one as a result of the local government campaign,” Morawiecki told the PiS Party Convention on Sunday (19 August), in which he barely mentioned the ongoing dispute between Warsaw and Brussels over the rule of law in the biggest eastern member state.
