Former Liverpool captain Henderson joins fans to lay tributes for Jota outside Anfield

Flowers, flags and football shirts are being laid for Diogo Jota after the Liverpool forward died yesterday in a car crash in Spain

 

Patches of grass outside Anfield are covered with tributes for the Portuguese international – watch live at the top of the page

 

Our reporter says it’s a similar scene in Jota’s hometown of Gondomar, near Porto, where a wake is due to be held later

 

Jota and his brother André Silva both died after the car they were travelling in crashed in the province of Zamora – officials say their tyre blew out while overtaking another car

 

The brothers had been travelling from Porto to Santander to catch a ferry to England so Jota could begin pre-season training – he recently had minor surgery and was told to avoid flying

 

The 28-year-old married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso, with whom he had three children, 11 days before the crash
