Portuguese-born Everton stars lay wreaths at Anfield as Toffees pay respects to Liverpool star Diogo Jota

Portuguese-born Everton stars Youssef Chermiti and Beto laid wreaths at Anfield on behalf of the club and paid their respects to Diogo Jota following his tragic death.

The Liverpool forward died on Thursday alongside his brother when his Lamborghini had a tyre blow out while overtaking another vehicle on the A-52 at Cernadilla near Zamora - just ten miles over the border from Portugal.

The car is said to have rolled and burst into flames, with emergency services unable to save the footballing duo. Jota's brother, Andre Silva, 26, played for Portuguese second division side Penafiel.
