Former Liverpool star Ryan Babel gave a tribute to the late Diogo Jota after scoring in a legends match against Chelsea on Sunday.

Babel had been among former Liverpool players including Pepe Reina, Martin Skrtel and Yossi Benayoun to feature in the match at Stamford Bridge.

The match had begun with emotional pre-match tributes to Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who were tragically killed in a car crash in northern Spain back in July.

Tributes were also paid to former Chelsea and Liverpool women's manager Matt Beard, who passed away last month, and the Reds two-time European Cup winning defender Joey Jones.

Liverpool would ultimately secure a late 1-0 victory in the match, with their former winger Babel scoring the decisive goal.

Babel, now 38, was played into space by Jermaine Pennant on the left side of Chelsea's area.
