Liverpool midfielder Coutinho scores in Brazil triumph

Published on: 01 September 2017

Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho scored for Brazil in their World Cup qualifying win over Ecuador today.

Coutinho is hoping to join Barcelona this summer but Liverpool have rejected three bids from Barcelona for their playmaker, the last a £118million offer made up of a large number of add-ons.

The English transfer window is now closed but the Spanish remains open for a day longer so the 25-year-old may yet find himself the subject of one final push by Barcelona for his services on Friday.

The former Inter Milan man did not let any of that distract him from the task at hand, though, climbing off the bench to score Brazil's second goal in a 2-0 win in Porto Alegre.
