Jordan Henderson honours former teammate with goal celebration

Jordan Henderson scored on Sunday for Brentford and paid tribute to Diogo Jota with his goal celebration.

Henderson scored in the 70th minute in Brentford's 1-1 draw with visiting Leeds United and proceeded to sit down cross-legged and pantomime as if he was playing video games, a familiar celebration that Jota made famous while playing for Liverpool.

Jota and his brother Andre Silva were killed in a single-car collision in July 2025.

"Yes, it was his birthday recently," Henderson 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 - I thought I would dedicate it to him."

Henderson and Jota were teammates at Liverpool from 2020 until 2023, when the former joined Al-Ettifaq of the Saudi Pro League. At the time of his death, Jota was preparing to play in his sixth season for the Reds.
