It began with a beautiful performance of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ by Cork native Claudia Rose Long Maguire, wife of former Preston and current Cork City striker Seani, before kick-off.

For seven minutes after the final whistle, Liverpool players and staff stood in front of their supporters at Preston as they chanted Diogo Jota’s name.

Sunday’s pre-season friendly at Deepdale was originally envisaged as a day to kick-start preparations for Liverpool’s Premier League title defence, but it played out as a memorial service for Jota and his brother Andre Silva, 10 days after they died in a car accident in Spain.
