Arne Slot praised Liverpool and Wolves fans for “showing the football world how to behave” as Diogo Jota’s two English clubs came together to pay tribute to the late striker at Anfield.Jota’s two young sons, Dinis and Duarte, were mascots for the first game between the clubs since the Portugal international died in July. Liverpool supporters applauded when Wolves’ fans sang their song for Jota in the 18th minute and vice versa when Anfield acclaimed the late striker in the 20th minute, based on his squad numbers at the two clubs.

You guys know how special English fans are and today showed the outside world that it is not only the players who make this league special.”Florian Wirtz scored his first goal for Liverpool since his potential £116m transfer from Bayer Leverkusen as Slot’s side extended their unbeaten run to seven games. “I could see with his reaction when he scored the goal and it was the same with his teammates, they were really happy for him.“In football, rightly so maybe, we mainly get judged on results and individuals mainly get judged on goals and assists.

I think he has multiple good games for us but I also think he is getting better every game he plays for us. But I also liked his performance during large parts of the game today, I think he was special in a lot of moments.”
