Ronaldo Scores on his first appearance since rape accusation (Udinese 0-2 Juventus)
After a week of scrutiny, suspicion, allegations and denials, Cristiano Ronaldo found sanctuary - and the back of the net - on the football pitch and made the sort of headlines his nervy sponsors would no doubt prefer.
It was on Tuesday that news broke of Las Vegas police opening an investigation into claims the Juventus star raped American teacher Kathryn Mayorga in a hotel room in 2009.
Ronaldo strongly refutes the accusations and the club he joined for £99million in the summer have stood by him, speaking of their 'great champion'.
