Two of Diogo Jota’s children were mascots at Anfield on Saturday as Liverpool and Wolves paid tribute to their former forward.
Jota, who died in a car accident in July, joined Liverpool from Wolves in 2020.
In the first meeting between the clubs since his death, both sets of fans paid their respects, including a chant in Jota’s name on the 20th minute.

Two of his three children, Dinis and Duarte, as well as family members performed the role as mascots, while his wife Rute Cardoso was also in attendance.
Liverpool retired the number 20 shirt worn by Jota and there are plans for a permanent memorial to the Portugal international and his brother Andre Silva, who also died in the accident, at Anfield.
