Liverpool’s Premier League match against West Ham United was the men’s team’s nearest fixture to April 15, when in 1989 the disaster at the FA Cup semi-final with Nottingham Forest resulted in 97 supporters losing their lives.
A mosaic in honour of those children, women and men was formed on the Kop prior to kick-off as a silence was observed, with tributes also displayed on LED boards around the pitch and a commemorative matchday programme.
West Ham’s Aaron Cresswell also laid a wreath at the stadium’s Hillsborough Memorial ahead of the game to pay respects on behalf of the visitors.
