Minority of fans in Crystal Palace end disrupt silence

Liverpool forward and brother died in July car accident

Tributes were paid to the former Liverpool forward Diogo Jota before the Community Shield but the minute’s silence at Wembley had to be cut short because of some shouting from a small number of Crystal Palace fans.

Jota died in a car crash along with his brother André Silva in Spain on 3 July and both were honoured with wreaths laid on the pitch and a period of silence before kick-off.

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

Liverpool fans earlier paid respects with a rousing rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone as the wreaths were brought out, raising a white banner reading “Diogo J” and featuring the forward’s image and number 20.

The Liverpool great Ian Rush, the Palace chairman, Steve Parish, and the Football Association chair, Debbie Hewitt, laid the wreaths at the Liverpool end, as fans from both clubs expressed their respect with a standing ovation as the late siblings’ images were displayed on the big screens inside the stadium.

Liverpool’s manager, Arne Slot, on Thursday told the FA website he was immensely proud of how his Premier League champions had dealt with the tragedy.

The passing of Diogo Jota had a big impact on all of us and is something that we are still coming to terms with.

“We cannot imagine the pain that Diogo’s family, his wife, children and friends are going through, and the club will continue to give them all the support they can going forward.

Diogo’s passing has had a big impact on us all, but what has been so important has been the love and care shown from the football world, and in particular of course the Liverpool FC community.

“I also want to mention the strength and the courage of my players here.

We really couldn’t have asked more of the boys, and I am extremely proud of them all.

“We will always carry Diogo with us in our hearts, in our thoughts, wherever we go.”
