Liverpool have admitted they are 'devastated' in an emotional tribute to their player Diogo Jota after he died in a tragic car accident at the age of 28.

The Portuguese forward was travelling in the supercar with his fellow footballer and younger brother Andre, 26, who also died in the crash.

Jota's death tragically came just two weeks after he married his childhood sweetheart and mother of his three children, Rute Cardoso, in Porto.

Several Liverpool fans gathered at Anfield on Thursday morning to lay flowers and messages in honour of Jota, as the world of football fell into mourning.
