A minute's silence held in tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva was interrupted by a minority of Crystal Palace fans before being cut short ahead the Community Shield against Liverpool.

Reds forward Jota died in a car crash along with his brother Silva in Spain in July.

The moment of silence at Wembley was disturbed by a minority of fans from the Palace end, eliciting a strong response at the other end of the pitch, as well as other Palace supporters, who tried to silence those not respecting the tribute.



Referee Chris Kavanagh opted to cut the minute short, with the tribute ending after just 20 seconds.



Liverpool fans also booed the national anthem ahead of kick off.

Sky Sports' Peter Smith at Wembley reported: "Unsavoury moments there, as a few Crystal Palace fans called out 'Eagles' during the minute's silence for Diogo Jota, which drew boos from the Liverpool end.

"It followed Liverpool fans booing the national anthem, which drew an angry response from some in the Palace end."
