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.
