Anfield paid an emotional tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva ahead of Liverpool's first game of the Premier League season against Bournemouth.

The tragic star's wife and children were welcomed on Merseyside as the Reds played their first league game since the tragic death of the forward.

Jota, along with his brother, died in a car crash just days after the star was married to long-term partner Rute Cardoso.

Fans unfurled a tifo in tribute to both men, while some on the Kop held a banner reading: "Rute, Dinis, Duate, Matalda - Anfield will always be your home.

Fans paid tribute themselves 20 minutes into the Community Shield at Wembley, in honour of Jota's squad number.

"Ahead of tonight’s first game of the new Premier League season there will be fan-led tribute to Diogo and his brother Andre, with a special mosaic shown in the Kop and the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand," the club said in the lead-up to the game.

We are there for them always," Reds boss Arne Slot said in his programme notes.

The football world has been in mourning ever since Jota and Silva died, and tributes have come from far and wide.

In the lead-up to the start of the season, Liverpool's Premier League rivals Chelsea confirmed they would make a donation to the footballers' family from their Club World Cup winnings, while Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola also acknowledged the situation.

"It's a big test for us and in the beginning it's going to be emotional with the passing of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva," he said in his pre-match press conference.
