Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva took office on Sunday for a third term as Brazil’s president, vowing to fight for the poor and the environment and “rebuild the country” after far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro’s divisive administration.

Ironically, Liverpool’s reward for seeing off Wolves is a return trip to Brighton in the fourth round. – Tenacious Liverpool –Sa was caught too far off his line but that should not detract from the quality of Elliott’s first goal since October. Gakpo was still searching for his first Liverpool goal in his third appearance since signing from PSV Eindhoven.
