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.

The match on Saturday marked a poignant day for the Portuguese as it was their first international fixture since the death of their forward Diogo Jota in a car crash in July along with his brother Andre Silva. The stadium fell quiet as both teams observed a moment of silence before kickoff.
