Preston vs Liverpool: Diogo Jota remembered with poignant tributes

Liverpool and Preston North End players, staff and supporters paid tribute to Diogo Jota during their preseason friendly on Sunday following the Portugal forward's death on July 3.

The match was Liverpool's first since Jota, who was 28, and his brother André Silva, who was 25, died in a car crash near Zamora, Spain on July 3.

During an emotionally charged afternoon, Preston captain Ben Whiteman laid a wreath in front of Liverpool's travelling fans before a rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" was sung ahead of kick-off.
