Mohamed Salah in tears as Liverpool fans sing Diogo Jota's name at Anfield
Mohamed Salah wiped away tears as he listened to Liverpool fans sing songs in tribute to Diogo Jota after the team's victory over Bournemouth at Anfield. Liverpool won 4-2 in the opening match of the Premier League season, with goals from Hugo Ekitike, Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa and Salah getting their title defence off to a winning start. Jota died in a car crash along with brother Andre Silva in Spain on 3 July after a suspected tyre blowout. The tragedy occurred only 11 days after Jota, a 28-year-old father of three, had married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso. Jota 's family were in attendance at Anfield on Friday night as Liverpool fans sang a rousing rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone, before a minute's silence was impeccably observed. A loud rendition of Jota's song was accompanied by banners commemorating the late forward, one of them in the Bournemouth end, in a gesture by the visiting fans. Mosaics were formed by fans in the Kenny Dalglish Stand and the Kop as Liverpool paid their own tribute. Chants of Jota's name continued to ring around the stadium as the game got underway, all players wearing black armbands, with fans singing his now immortalised 'Number 20' anthem. And afterwards, Salah stood in front of the Kop soaking in the moment as supporters sang Jota's name. "We know that this will be a very emotional occasion, given it is the first league game we have played since we lost Diogo and Andre,' Arne Slot had said in his pre-match programme notes. "As I have said previously, the tributes that have been paid throughout the football world, and especially within the LFC community, have been truly special, and I know that tonight we will come together to honour them once more.' Reds captain Virgil van Dijk added in his notes: 'It will be a very emotional occasion for everybody associated with the club, and especially for Diogo's wife, Rute, their children and his family, who will be in attendance this evening. 'They remain, of course, the most important people in all of this, and it is important that we as a club – players, staff, supporters – are there for them always, and that they know that they will always be loved and welcomed here at Anfield.' Liverpool retired Jota's No 20 shirt earlier this summer, with the Portuguese forward listed under 'Forever' on their website's squad list.

Liverpool star was 'SHOCKING' in first Premier League game of the season, Jamie Carragher claims after Reds nearly blew win
blasted a Liverpool star's efforts as 'shocking' on the back of the Reds blowing a two-goal lead to nearly draw their first match of the new Premier League season. Defending champions Liverpool appeared to be on their way to a comfortable opening day victory when Cody Gakpo added to new signing Hugo Ekitike's opener, but Bournemouth had other ideas in what was a shaky showing from Arne Slot 's men. Antoine Semenyo - who was subject to alleged racist abuse earlier on in the game - scored a brace, and super substitute Federico Chiesa had to come off the bench to net a third just minutes before full time, and Mohamed Salah sealed it with a fourth. Still, following on from their Community Shield penalty shootout defeat, Liverpool looked poor at the back, and Carragher highlighted that on commentary during Sky Sports' coverage of the game. He picked out one particular player for criticism in the form of centre back Ibrahima Konate. Konate struggled for Semenyo's goal, first standing off the forward before deciding to close him down - but not getting close enough. 'What is Konate doing?' Carragher asked. 'Oh my God. He's been absolutely shocking tonight, Konate.' Konate had appeared to suffer a small injury just minutes earlier, and Carragher had already called his positioning into question in an attack just before.

Moses Itauma net worth and how much he is getting paid for Dillian Whyte fight
PROMISING heavyweight Moses Itauma is set for a huge payday as he prepares for the biggest fight of his career. Moses Itauma made his boxing debut in January, 2023 when he fought and beat Marcel Bode at Wembley. 1 Since then, the 20-year-old star has appeared in 11 more professional fights and won all of them.
