Ava White: Everton and Liverpool fans pay tribute to stabbed schoolgirl

Fans at the Merseyside derby have paid tribute to schoolgirl Ava White, who was stabbed to death in Liverpool.

The 12-year-old died after being attacked on 25 November and a boy, aged 14, has been charged with murder.

Everton and Liverpool fans joined in a round of applause in the 12th minute of Wednesday's game and a banner with an anti-knives message was displayed.

Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold also paid tribute to her while celebrating his team's 4-1 win at Goodison Park.

The defender wore a shirt with the message "RIP Ava White" printed on it, while the red and blue banner sported the message "no more knives in our city" alongside both clubs' badges.
