Serbia have won three World Cups in water polo

Serbia won their second Olympic gold in Rio as their men's water polo team beat London 2012 champions Croatia.

The world champions won the final 11-7 to take the title, after winning bronze at the past two Olympics.

Croatia's assistant coach was told to leave the arena midway through the second half after protesting to officials against a decision.

Italy, who were silver medallists in London four years ago, secured bronze with a 12-10 victory over Montenegro.

Davor Stefanek won Serbia's first gold in Rio with victory in the men's 66kg Greco-Roman wrestling.
