Emotional Mo Salah in tears as Liverpool fans honour Diogo Jota during Bournemouth victory

Liverpool star Mo Salah was moved to tears following Liverpool's triumph over Bournemouth as supporters at Anfield paid homage to Diogo Jota.

Tributes poured in for Jota before, during and after the match, following his heartbreaking death in a motor vehicle crash in July.

Salah had netted Liverpool's fourth strike as they repelled a Bournemouth fightback to secure a 4-2 victory at Anfield.

Supporters throughout the ground sang Jota's name once the final whistle sounded, and Salah was clearly moved as he approached the faithful.

"You've just seen there, an outpouring of emotion from Mo Salah," Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville said. "I think it's going to be like that for Liverpool players, staff, fans throughout the season.", reports the Mirror.

"It's just going to hit them at moments during games, at the end of games, after victories, after defeats. They'll recognise they've got their team-mate, their colleague, someone they loved, not with them any more. It's incredibly sad, and obviously what we've just seen there from Mo Salah was really special."

Moments earlier, Salah had clinched victory for Liverpool with a stoppage-time goal. However, victory wasn't always assured for the reigning Premier League champions.

Liverpool went in 1-0 up at the break, with Hugo Ekitike scoring on his Premier League debut, and Cody Gakpo doubled the lead early in the second half. The lead didn't last, though, with Antoine Semenyo scoring twice for the visitors.

It looked as though victory would elude victory, only for super-sub Federico Chiesa to volley home from around the penalty spot. The goal was the Italian's first in the Premier League, and just the third he has scored for Liverpool since joining from Juventus.

"I said on commentary that it was a weird decision. Taking [Florian] Wirtz off and Chiesa on," commentator Jamie Carragher said. "But that's a magical moment for him. A last minute winner in front of the Kop. I thought he mis-hit it but he actually got really good contact on it. It doesn't go in with any great pace."

Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock was covering the game for BBC Radio 5 Live and he had praise for Salah's clincher. "So often we see him come off the right flank onto his left foot but this time it comes from the opposite side," he said. "He backs the defenders off into the penalty area, cuts inside on his right foot and another pass into that far corner. A quite brilliant finish."
