Liverpool manager Arne Slot on the sideline at Wembley

Arne Slot has defended the Crystal Palace supporters who disturbed a moment’s silence for Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva before the Community Shield at Wembley.

The brothers died on July 3 in a car accident in Zamora, Spain after a suspected tyre blowout. The tragedy occurred only 11 days after Jota, a 28-year-old father-of-three, had married long-term partner Rute Cardoso.
