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."
"It was difficult but in a way also special and nice, said Slot of the emotional atmosphere inside the stadium. The football world again showed how to behave in moments like this. Our fans have been incredible since the tragedy happened. In every single moment they did what you hope they would do in memory of him. Today the away fans showed it is not only about our fans. In the 18th minute the Wolves fans started singing for Diogo and ours were clapping,"
