TIME MACHINE: AC MILAN v BOLOGNA
Final rush for the Serie A 2018/19, including AC Milan v Bologna on matchday 35. Gennaro Gattuso's side were boosted by the motivation to stay in the race for the Champions League. Following April, the team found their spirit and overcame Bologna with a 2-1 win. The match was tense and hard-fought, it was a night filled with drama, red cards and turning points. Let's relive it with our Time Machine. AC Milan began the match being put under pressure immediately, struggling to develop play as a result of Bologna's organised pressing. In the 26th minute, an injury to Biglia led to a confrontation between Gattuso and Bakayoko, who was not ready in time to come onto the pitch. The midfielder later explained that it was just a misunderstanding during the substitution. José Mauri came on instead, a player who had not played a lot before then. Despite the tense atmosphere, the Italo-Argentine won the ball back in the final third and found Suso between the lines: the Spaniard's left-footed shot flew past Skorupski, putting an end to a goal drought that had lasted since January. In the second half, Gattuso was forced into a change: in the 60th minute, Çalhanoğlu came off due to a muscular problem and Fabio Borini came on in his place. Seven minutes later, Borini doubled the lead with a tap-in. AC Milan seemed in control, but Mattia Destro pulled one back in the 72nd minute. Two minutes later, the match became more complicated: Paquetá received a hit from Pulgar and reacted badly to the Chilean. The referee intervened straight away but the player replied with a hit to the arm: Di Bello gave him a red card. The Rossoneri were forced to ten men but managed to deal with Bologna's attacks, with Donnarumma and Zapata proving decisive. It ended 2-1.

First police officer to arrive at felled Sycamore Gap saw people 'visibly upset'
The first police officer to arrive at the scene of the Sycamore Gap felling found people 'visibly upset' at the scene, a court heard today. PC Peter Borini of Northumbria Police said there were already many people at the site when he got there at about 11:30am on 28 September 2023. In a statement read to Newcastle crown court, he said he knew the area well and was "well aware of the importance of the tree" to the local community and visitors. Daniel Graham, 39, and Adam Carruthers, 32, both deny criminal damage to the tree to the value of £622,191. Graham of Millbeck, Grinsdale, near Carlisle, and Carruthers, of Church St, Wigton, both Cumbria, also deny criminal damage of £1,144 of damage to Hadrian's Wall, a Unesco World Heritage Site. Both belong to the National Trust. PC Borini said members of the public were taking pictures and park rangers were "visibly shocked and upset". He outlined how the tree was situated in a hollow in the land and had fallen northbound across the wall. There was silver spray paint on the base before a smooth cut was made with a long-bladed chainsaw, he added. He took samples of the tree bark and painted areas. PC Borini said he scoured the area of the tree for the "chock", but it could not be found. He said it must have been cut out of the trunk to dictate the way the tree would have fallen. He said it could have been a "sizable" part of the trunk. The incident had been reported at 09:39 am that day through multiple posts on social media. The jury at Newcastle crown court was shown the footage filmed from PC Borini's body-worn camera. In it he can be heard asking people to step back and calls in for more officers to arrive. Other footage played to the court showed the famous 100-year-old Sycamore Gap tree being cut down in a 'matter of minutes'. The 'moronic mission' was captured on Graham's mobile phone in a clip lasting two minutes and 41 seconds, which ends with a 'thud' as the tree hits the ground, Newcastle crown court heard . The trial, expected to last 10 days, continues.
