Liverpool, Leicester, West Ham and Brentford fans pay their respects to Pele ahead of their Friday night Premier League clashes with a minute's applause - as a picture of Brazil legend with Bobby Moore is displayed at the London Stadium

Premier League fans have honoured Pele before their matches on Friday evening.

Liverpool, Leicester, West Ham and Brentford fans paid their respects to the footballing legend before the Reds hosted the Foxes and the Hammers hosted the Bees, with a minute's applause.

The Brazilian passed away at the age of 82 on Thursday evening following a battle with colon cancer which left him hospitalised for a month. His death left the beautiful game - a phrase he coined - in mourning - and on Friday, English football offered their own tributes.

Alisson, as the Brazilian on the pitch, laid flowers on behalf of Liverpool and Leicester City for Pele.
