There were disappointing scenes as a small group of fans failed to observe the minute's silence in memory of Diogo Jota ahead of Sunday's Community Shield final.

The match was Liverpool's first competitive fixture since the tragic passing of the Portuguese star and his brother.

On July 3, Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, died when their car crashed in the early hours in northern Spain.

The 28-year-old forward had recently married his childhood sweetheart at a ceremony in his native Portugal following a campaign culminating in trophy-winning successes for both club and country.

the Premier League champions faced FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in the traditional season curtain-raiser at Wembley and there was no doubt that the occasion would be used to pay tribute to Jota.
