Jota's children join tributes as Liverpool, Wolves pay respects
Two of Diogo Jota's children were mascots at Anfield on Saturday as Liverpool and Wolves paid tribute to their former forward.
Jota, who was killed in a car accident in July, joined Liverpool from Wolves in 2020.
In the first meeting between the sides since his death, both sets of fans paid their respects, including a chant in Jota's name on the 20th minute.
Two of his three children, Dinis and Duarte, as well as family members performed the role as mascots, while his wife Rute Cardoso was also in attendance.
Liverpool retired the number 20 shirt worn by Jota and there are plans for a permanent memorial to the Portugal international and his brother Andre Silva, who was also killed in the accident, at Anfield.
