Diogo Jota minute’s silence cut short in disrespectful scenes

Jota tributes have been emotional and impressive - Slot

A small number of Crystal Palace fans disrupted a moment's silence at Wembley Stadiumbefore the Community Shield match.

The tribute was held for Diogo Jota and his younger brother Andre Silva, who tragically died in a car accident in Spain on 3 July.

While most Crystal Palace supporters observed the silence respectfully, a chanting minority prompted boos from Liverpool fans and calls for quiet from other Palace supporters.

Liverpool are preparing for the new season without Jota, who was an integral part of their squad, and have paid various tributes to him.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot acknowledged the difficult summer for the club following Jota's passing, praising the strength and courage of his players.
