Brentford midfielder Jordan Henderson paid tribute to former Liverpool team-mate Diogo Jota after scoring in Sunday’s draw against Leeds.
The England midfielder played 77 games with Jota, who died in a car crash aged 28 in July, along with his brother Andre Silva.
Henderson recreated the ex-Portugal forward’s trademark celebration at Gtech Community Stadium – sitting down and pretending to play a computer game – to mark his first Premier League goal since December 2021.
That came in a comfortable 4-1 derby win for Liverpool at neighbours Everton when Jota was also on the scoresheet.
“It was his birthday recently,” Henderson, 35, told Sky Sports.
“We will never forget him. We always remember him forever. I can only imagine what the lads at Liverpool are going through.
“He was a good friend and, I like I said, I don’t score many goals so I thought I would dedicate it to him.”
