Soccer

Following Saturday's 11 matches in the FA Cup, there are three more matches on Sunday's agenda.

Liverpool suffered a misfortune away to Brighton after a late goal from Kaoru Mitoma gave the homeside a 2-1 win.

Elsewhere, Stoke City beat Stevenage 3-1, thanks to goals from Jacob Brown, Josh Laurent and a penalty from Lewis Baker.

In the last game of the day, Wrexham and Sheffield United's meeting ended 3-3 despite a red card for Sheffield's Daniel Jebbison. The visitors left it late, but a goal in the 95th minute from John Egan was enough to secure the draw.

The opening weekend of the Allianz National Football League continues today, again with eight games across the four divisions.

Waterford took a heavy defeat against Leitrim, ending 3-18 to 0-11 in their Division Four meeting, while Meath got the better of Cork with a tally of 3-14 to 0-19 in Division Two.

In the first of the day's Divison One fixtures, three goals for Roscommon set them off on the right foot, beating Tyrone 3-11 to 1-12.

The event will finish on Monday as a result of several weather delays.
